Hamnet by Maggie O'Farrell
4.0
Ben böyle boynu bükük kitaplara genelde elime almayı tercih etmem. Gündelik hayatta zaten stresliyiz, biraz kafam rahatlasın istiyorum (hence all those romance books I eat up). Konusu gereği, özellikle çocuğun ölecek olduğunu bilmek ilk 50 sayfayı karın ağrılarıyla okumama neden oldu. Ama o ilk 50 sayfadan sonra yazarın yazımında kayboldum gittim. Uzatılarak okunacak bir kitap değil. Başladıysan bir haftada bitirmek lazım. Kısa sürede bitirmeseydim 3 sene falan bu kitabı okumam gerekecekti, öyle bir kitap işte. Son kısımda da tahmin edileceği üzere çok güzel ağlattı. tşk Maggie O'Farrell.

She grows up with the awareness that she is merely tolerated, an irritant, useless, that she does not deserve love, that she will need to change herself substantially, crush herself down if she is to be married. She grows up, too, with the memory of what it meant to be properly loved, for what you are, not what you ought to be.”
