Like now, it’s night, not yet time for bed but too late to be outside, and the two of them reading reading reading with their eyes moving like the lights inside a copy machine. When I was helping put the dishes in the washer tonight, I broke a plate. I said sorry Ma it slipped. But it didn’t slip, that’s how I am sometimes, and I want to be worse . . .<BR>Awful is easy if you make it your one and only.<BR><BR></I>Fear doesn’t come naturally to Mathilda Savitch. She prefers to look right at the things nobody else can bring themselves to mention: for example, the fact that her beloved older sister is dead, pushed in front of a train by a man who is still on the loose. But after a year of spying and provocations, she’s no closer to the truth than she was the day it happened. When Mathilda finally cracks Helen’s e-mail password, a secret life opens up, one that swiftly draws her into a world of clouded motives and strange emotion. Somewhere in it lies the key to waking her family up from their dream of grief. To cross into that underworld and see what her sister saw, she has to risk everything that matters to her.<BR><BR>Mathilda Savitch is furious, awkward, and tender; <I>Mathilda Savitch</I> is a compelling page-turner and the debut of an extraordinary novelistic talent. 6606488 15 9 2009 Mathilda Savitch: A Novel total:93|5:16|4:25|3:34|2:12|1:6| 93 312 368 42 5 0 false false Mon Nov 16 07:49:32 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 16 07:49:32 -0800 2009 more...]]> 2 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 09:16:39 -0700 2009 Tue Oct 06 09:20:00 -0700 2009 What casts her desire to be bad in more unce...more...]]> 4 0 false false Thu Jul 30 05:44:16 -0700 2009 Wed Aug 05 14:15:55 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 2 false false Tue Jun 09 07:10:01 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 29 07:02:05 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Mon Oct 19 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 10:39:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 19 05:49:23 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Sep 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 13:25:12 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 14 13:34:42 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 12:18:37 -0700 2009 Mon Oct 12 12:18:37 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3 0 true false Wed Oct 14 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 21 21:33:55 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 18 00:10:23 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Sep 23 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 06:53:01 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 01 04:54:41 -0700 2009 The writing style reminded me of ‘The Catcher in the Rye’ J.D.
