Crit Of Books Eve Green

After 8-year-old Eve Greens mother dies, she is sent to Wales to live with her grandparents whom she has never met. She experiences a calamitous year during which she uncovers secrets about her parents while also being tragically affected by the disappearance of a young girl. This year in her life is told in retrospective when Eve is 29 years old and trying to make sense of all that happened at that time.This is a beautiful novel filled with lyrical prose, vivid descriptions, and a compelling

I found this book slowgoing early on. The prose felt overdone and the foreshadowing, if you can even call it that, felt clunky. The author seemed to struggle with adopting a non-linear mode of storytelling and though I thought the writing was ambitious, it never really swept me away.But about halfway through the book -- where the plot really kicked in, I suppose -- I began to appreciate her efforts more. I genuinely liked most of the characters, and there are some beautiful reflections on

When I first read this book, I was struggling with graduate school an ocean away from home, in a country I was trying desperately to make feel like home to stave off homesickness. Living on the Scottish coastline, this book and books like it (ie: I Capture The Castle) that paint dreary but cozy rural Britain were a perfect fit for me. This one was full of intensely descriptive prose, and so many passages just jumped out at me as feeling "perfect" and not many books seem to do that to me anymore.

It was beautifully written and you can almost feel the countryside and the farm.

I loved this book - lyrical, gentle writing that conjured up beautiful images of mid-Wales scenery. Sad at times, but also uplifting.

Oystercatchers is better. I like second book of the Susan Fletcher than the first, well both are very much same in story but the second one was written better..Story is of single line, a pregnant woman recollecting her memories of the time she arrived to Wales after her mother's death. In her childhood, she made mistakes which has some result, some better some good but all and all she is a happy woman now. But i like the writing style which is juvenile and ripe full in next book.

This is destined to become a literary classic. The portrayal of childhood and its fears is hauntingly accurate and the description is poetic.
