Описание книги

Long-listed for the 2006 Re-Lit Award for Best Novel For 15-year-old Cathy Mugan, «a place apart» is where she longs to be: apart from her mother, an unhinged, uncontrollable terror who explodes at the slightest provocation. So Cathy has a chance to work at a rectory for the summer, she seizes it. But «a place apart» is also where Cathy is: surrounded by violence, a cowering father, and a contemptuous brother, she is almost completely alone. Her closest friend exists only in her imagination, a frightening sign that perhaps Cathy has more in common with her mad mother than she – or the reader – wants to believe Stirring and dramatic, this is an unforgettable debut from Canada’s next major author. Engaging characters, enthralling scenes, and lyrical beauty will make A Place Apart stay with readers for years.

Отрывок из книги

a novel by

MAUREEN LENNON

.....

The light from the elegant White House dining room window poured onto Adele’s dining room table and carpet, enveloping both women. Adele offered cream for their tea, eagerly telling her news, pausing to listen intently to the quiet, mellifluous voice of her companion.

There she sat, statue-still, all afternoon, gazing into the centre of a magazine picture, her eyes bright with emotion, her cheeks flushed pink with excitement. Every so often she would stir, her head would lean to one side, a smile would cross her face, and she would speak into the empty air before her.
