Richly expansive and deeply moving, an intimate novel of secret
lives and painful histories from one of the finest storytellers we
have 'This brilliant novel examines lives lived, losses
accumulated, and the slipperiness of perception. Yiyun Li writes
deeply, drolly, and with elegance about history, even as it's
happening. She is one of my favorite writers, and Must I Go is an
extraordinary book.' Meg Wolitzer Lilia Liska is 81. She has
shrewdly outlived three husbands, raised five children and seen the
arrival of seventeen grandchildren. Now she has turned her keen
attention to a strange little book published by a vanity press: the
diary of a long-forgotten man named Roland Bouley, with whom she
once had a fleeting affair. Increasingly obsessed by this fragment
of intimate history, Lilia begins to annotate the diary with her
own rather different version of events. Gradually she undercuts
Roland's charming but arrogant voice with an incisive and deeply
moving commentary. She reveals to us the surprising, long-held
secrets of her past. And she returns inexorably to her daughter,
Lucy, who took her own life at the age of 27. Must I Go is an
unconventional epistolary novel, a gleefully one-way correspondence
between the very-much-alive Lilia and the long-departed Roland.
Though mortality is ever-present, this is ultimately a novel about
life, in all its messy glory. Life lived, for the extraordinary
Lilia, absolutely on its own terms. With exquisite subtlety and
insight, Yiyun Li navigates the twin poles of grief and resilience,
loss and rebirth, that compass a human heart.
Úprimná spoveď matky – manželky, ktorú zlé rozhodnutia vženú priamo
do náruče odborníkov. Ako žena, matka a manželka si je vedomá
svojich chýb, ťarcha rozhodnutí je však oveľa silnejšia. Stráca
nielen svoju rodinu, ale aj to, čo jej bolo najbližšie. Svoje deti.
Skutočný príbeh, tak trochu drsný, trochu podaný s vtipom o ženách,
mužoch a deťoch, ktorým jediné rozhodnutie zmenilo život. V poradí
štrnásta kniha od obľúbenej Evity Urbaníkovej prináša príbeh, ktorý
je zasadený do prostredia rodiny a medziľudských vzťahov. Citát:
Niekedy máme v živote jednoducho smolu. Niekedy sa dostaneme do
prúseru, ani nevieme ako. Ale niekedy si za všetko, čo sa deje,
môžeme sami.
