Описание:
Jamaica Kincaid's At the Bottom of the River ... inspired, lyrical short stories
Reading Jamaica Kincaid is to plunge, gently, into another way of seeing both the physical world and its elusive inhabitants. Her voice is, by turns, naively whimsical and biblical in its assurance, and it speaks of what is partially remembered partly divined. The memories often concern a childhood in the Caribbean--family, manners, and landscape--as distilled and transformed by Kincaid's special style and vision. Kincaid leads her readers to consider, as if for the first time, the powerful ties between mother and child; the beauty and destructiveness of nature; the gulf between the masculine and the feminine; the significance of familiar things--a house, a cup, a pen. Transfiguring our human form and our surroundings--shedding skin, darkening an afternoon, painting a perfect place--these stories tell us something we didn't know, in a way we hadn't expected.
Описание: Jennifer Van Vleet is a woman who knows what she wants out of life and won't let anything stand in her way. She's dedicated herself to the art of ballet and becomes the prima ballerina for her company. When her costume catches fire during a performance, Chantry Kincaid III--a rakishly charming Texan builder whose family has as many enemies as it has properties--saves her. Jennifer finds herself drawn into a whirlwind romance with Chantry, where the passion between the two is undeniable, until she learns of the Kincaid family's hand in her parents' deaths years ago. Now she has a decision to make, one that will decide whether she can let go of the past and move forward from tragedy. "Joyce Brandon writes a brilliant nineteenth-century Americana romance." --Affaire de Coeur, 4 1⁄2 stars
