La sua attenzione m’è parsa focalizzata su cosa succede dopo, dal momento che Lex ragazza A riesce a scappare. If you’re looking for a book to get immersed in and something which will absorb you then Girl A could be the book for you.
Second, the author’s intention turned out to be at odds with what I wanted, and I can’t fault her for that, but I was most interested in how the psychology of torturing your own children works in practice. Ma il mistero rimane: perché mai debuttare con una storia così orribile e raccapricciante, inquietante e disturbante?
Encontraram Daniel quase por acaso, num saco de plástico e comprimido num armário da cozinha; por essa altura, havia vários meses que era apenas matéria orgânica. Unable to escape her past any longer, Alexandra and her sister Evie begin to track down their other siblings in their attempts to repurpose the house to turn it into a force for good. Even if I didn’t have a weakness for tales of con artists overcoming all adversity to find their own, usually idiosyncratic, happily ever afters, I would still be blown away by this smart, terrific tale of the perfect Southern girl using her wits to conquer all.
Lex picks over the details of how their father – “the rot in my bones” – gradually spirals into a religious mania and begins to curtail his children’s freedoms.Dean also read about Jasmine Block, the teenager who swam across a lake in Minnesota after being held captive for a month. Then again, the detached manner in which she is written made her hard to fully connect with in the more recent timelines. Everything about this was haunting and I really enjoyed the way Dean captured the potential psychological traumas and post-rescue trials one might face when in a situation such as this.
Girl A, aka Lex, escaped her troubled family home (her religious zealot father namely) and now is a successful lawyer. Lex sets off on a journey to reconnect with her brothers and sisters and learns some things about them that she’d rather not have known. This is a book that contains an entirely unique narrative and has occasional flashes of brilliance scattered among its pages, yet for the most part is a major disappointment. The Turpins shackled their offspring to their beds, the alarm being raised by their 17-year-old daughter who broke free. This is a juicy j read for those who were fascinated/horrified/curious about the Turpin case that left us all wondering: "WHY!subjectively speaking I enjoyed it without ever tipping over into the kind of bookish obsession that grips me. Girl A is extremely bleak, but its bleakness never becomes overpowering and the story is gripping, so the pages keep flying even when things get extremely dark. Unfortunately, while alternating timelines she chose to flashback and forward and change points of view while doing so. As children, Lex and her siblings had watched their parents cover the clocks and windows of the house, a disorienting abuse technique that leaves her grasp on time shaky into adulthood.
