レビュー要約
-
受け入れは概して好意的であり、前提と感情的な賭けが称賛されています。読者の中には、ペースをタイトにしたり、ところどころもう少し深みを持たせたいと思う人もいます。

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER and ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’ S NOTABLE BOOKS OF THE YEAR A NEW YORK TIMES " BEST THRILLER" and "BEST CRIME NOVEL" OF THE YEAR PEOPLE MAGAZINE’S #1 BOOK OF THE YEAR “Extraordinary . . . Reminds me of Donna Tartt’s 1992 debut, The Secret History . . . I was so thoroughly submerged in a rich fictional world, that for hours I barely came up for air.” —Maureen Corrigan, Fresh Air, NPR “This expertly paced thriller …has the kineticism of a well-crafted miniseries.” — The New Yorker When a teenager vanishes from her Adirondack summer camp, two worlds collide Early morning, August 1975: a camp counselor discovers an empty bunk. Its occupant, Barbara Van Laar, has gone missing. Barbara isn’t just any thirteen-year-old: she’s the daughter of the family that owns the summer camp and employs most of the region’s residents. And this isn’t the first time a Van Laar child has disappeared. Barbara’s older brother similarly vanished fourteen years ago, never to be found. As a panicked search begins, a thrilling drama unfolds. Chasing down the layered secrets of the Van Laar family and the blue-collar community working in its shadow, Moore’s multi-threaded story invites readers into a rich and gripping dynasty of secrets and second chances. It is Liz Moore’s most ambitious and wide-reaching novel yet.
Liz Moore is the author of the New York Times bestsellers The God of the Woods and Long Bright River , as well as the acclaimed novels Heft and The Unseen World. A winner of the Rome Prize in Literature, she lives in Philadelphia.

Mystery novel for women
Recommended by Stephen King. It was really a page-turner. The story is about the missing boy and girl in the period between ‘60 and ‘70. I am of the same generation as the girl and I particularly felt empathy with the girl, and also with the woman investigator.

Tout dans cette histoire est un régal : le style, fluide et si agréable ; les personnages attachants, leurs fragilités, leurs démons, leurs forces ; la nature ; l’atmosphère ; l’intrigue. Tout. Un gros coup de coeur.

Es un gran libro de suspenso. Aunque tiene varios personajes, no te confundes en ningún momento. La forma en que va contando la historia de cada uno, y cómo salta del pasado al presente con tanto detalle, te ayuda a entenderlos muchísimo mejor. Está muy bien escrito y te atrapa desde el principio.

The God of the Woods hat mich wirklich überrascht. Die Geschichte um das Verschwinden eines Mädchens in einem abgelegenen Sommerlager ist atmosphärisch dicht und emotional stark erzählt, mit vielen unterschiedlichen Perspektiven und echten Gefühlen. Die Charaktere wirken lebendig, und die Mischung aus Familiengeheimnissen, Klassenunterschieden und persönlichem Drama macht das Buch besonders. An manchen Stellen zieht sich die Story etwas und es dauert, bis man alle Fäden versteht, aber gerade das langsame Entfalten macht die Spannung auf seine Weise aus. Insgesamt ein fesselnder, nachdenklicher Roman, der noch lange nachklingt.
