Laurie Halse Anderson: The Impossible Knife of Memory Laurie Halse Anderson: The Impossible Knife of Memory

For the past five years, Hayley Kincaid and her father, Andy, have been on the road, never staying long in one place as he struggles to escape the demons that have tortured him since his return from Iraq. Now they are back in the town where he grew up so Hayley can attend school. Perhaps, for the first time, Hayley can have a normal life, put aside her own painful memories, even have a relationship with Finn, the hot guy who obviously likes her but is hiding secrets of his own.

Will being back home help Andy’s PTSD, or will his terrible memories drag him to the edge of hell, and drugs push him over? The Impossible Knife of Memory is Laurie Halse Anderson at her finest: compelling, surprising, and impossible to put down.

Laurie Halse Anderson: The Impossible Knife of Memory

Letehetetlen! Hihetetlen mélységeket mutat megy egy PTSD-vel küzdö csonka család életéböl. Mindez megtetézve a tinik útkeresésével, az elsö szerelemmel… A legjobban viszont Laurie Halse Anderson írásmódja fogott meg. Egyetlen mondatával több síkon is leírja a föszereplö megtapasztalásait. A legegyszerübb mondatának is mélysége van. Útközben persze a feszültséget is feloldja néha nerd-humorral. Biztos, hogy a gyerekeim kezébe adom, ha elég érettek lesznek a feldolgozására.

(Note: “family” does NOT only mean a biological unit composed of people who share genetic markers or legal bonds, headed by a heterosexual-mated pair. Family is much, much more than that. Because we’re not living in 1915, y’k now.)

You know how some babies are blessed by good fairies when they’re born, fairies with names like Beauty and Brains and Kindness and Laughter? I was blessed by their evil underworld troll cousins, Gawky and Awkward.
