La vida cuando era nuestra. Marian Izaguirre

Imagen
Un libro que te engancha desde la primera página. Empieza con dos historias que van creciendo por separado hasta que llega a un punto que maduran juntas y se cogen de la mano. Los personajes de Matías y Lola por un lado y Rose y Henry por el otro son el centro de esta maravillosa historia. Apasionante, llena de amor, libros, costumbres y hechos que cambian del inicio al fin de la novela. Es el primer libro que leo de esta escritora Marian Izaguirre pero definitivamente no va a ser el último. Los libros deben de sumergirnos y llevarnos a un lugar lejos de nuestro día a día, de los problemas y preocupaciones. Este libro lo ha conseguido.  Prefiero invertir mi tiempo en desconectar, aprender ,hacer trabajar un poco mi mente y mi imaginación en vez de estar tumbada en el sofá viendo cómo pasan los minutos delante de una pantalla que pocos son los canales interesantes. https://itunes.apple.com/es/book/la-vida-cuando-era-nuestra/id638893090?mt=11

És un  llibre  molt ric en el que et porta en la Catalunya i Espanya d'abans. La vida d'un matrimoni que tenen un fill que es diu Adrià  Ardèvol . L' Adrià  és molt  intel·ligent  ,  fet que fa que el seu pare cada cop li demani més i més per tal de poder demostrar a la galeria que el seu fill és el millor. Com per exemple que sap parlar més de deu llengües... L'història gira al voltant d'un violí molt valuós que li regala el pare del  Adrià  a ell. Parla del creixement del seu fill i de com passa el temps per tots els personatges i alguns desapareixen  ,  altres tornes i en  vénen  de nous. Narra perfectament el domini del pare sobre l'educació del fill i la poca paraula que té la mare en tot plegat. Històries d'amor de l mateix protagonista , les portes en dins de l' església  i una sèrie d'esdeveniments que fan que el lector vago gaudint de cada pàgina  fins a  arribar a la seva fi a la 998/1000. M'ha...

In some cases months, others years and in a few for the w...

The Children Act by Ian McEwan

Imagen
Three weeks ago before my holidays i went to the library of my home town in order to pick a book to read during two weeks. I went to English section just to keep English fresh in my mind. I saw differents books from the same writer Ian McEwan so i thought to get this option was a good idea. That book is about a women that works as a judge. While the reader is enjoying each page,the writer switch from religious cases where children is involved and the crisis is the marriage of the protagonist going through. Here a link of the book where also you can find more tittles by him. http://www.ianmcewan.com/bib/books/childrenact.html
