** spoiler uyarısı ** Evet, Breaking Dawn burada ve orada birçok sürpriz yaptı (Bella ve Edward'ın bir bebeği vardı, yada yada yada, vampir oldu, yada yada yada, Volturi'den kan dökülmeden kurtuldular), ama tamamen hayal kırıklığına uğramış! Stephanie Meyer'dan beklediğim gibi değildi. Umarım hala Midnight Sun'ı yayınlar ...
Buna katılmak zordu - gerektiğinde iki kat daha büyük bir hikaye. Ben bitirdim sevindim ama okumak için eve almak için endişeli bir kitap değildi.
This book deals with an handful of women at Atlit "displaced persons" camp in Palestine just after World War II. A quota had been set for how many Jews could immigrate to the new Eretz Yisrael, but of course hundreds of thousands more were trying to get in. They got rounded up and sent to these camps, run by the British, which were heartbreakingly similar in appearance to the concentration camps that many of them had just gotten out of. The treatment was far better, but they were still prisoners held behind barbed wire and sleeping in huge dormitories with separate men and women's areas. One particularly jarring moment was when a woman become hysterical at the sight of that barbed wire as she stepped off the bus--that really just cut me to the bone. These people have to stay at the camps until their paperwork is found or created and space on a kibbutz is made for them or family already in the country come to get them. The women that Diamant introduces us to are varied in personality and life experience, how they coped with the war and who they are trying to be in it's aftermath. Survivors guilt and and fierce will to live, starting over yet again, grief like a new appendage for most and so much more make this a rich tapestry of humanity in a situation I had never heard a word about until now. With Isreal so much in the news today, I think this is a thoughtful and timely book that will open new areas of understanding--knowing what happened at the beginning helps to inform the now. These women will linger in your head for long after you finish this book. Diamant is truly a master at writing memorable and amazing female characters who resonate in the minds of her readers.
