Reseña del libro "Perish: A Novel (en Inglés)"
"A brave triumph of a novel that readers won't forget long after finishing it."--The New York Times Book Review Named a Most Anticipated Book of the Year by Good Morning America * Essence* Esquire * The Root * Bustle * Ebony * PopSugar * Ms. * The Millions Bear it or perish yourself. Those are the words Helen Jean hears that fateful night in her cousin's outhouse that change the trajectory of her life. Spanning decades, Perish tracks the choices Helen Jean--the matriarch of the Turner family--makes and the way those choices have rippled across generations. We meet four members of the Black Texan family: Julie B., a woman who regrets her wasted youth and the time spent under Helen Jean's thumb; Alex, a police officer grappling with a dark and twisted past; Jan, a mother of two who yearns to go to school and leave Jerusalem, Texas, behind for good; and Lydia, a woman whose marriage is falling apart because her body can't seem to stay pregnant. Called home to say goodbye to their mother and grandmother, each family member is forced to confront long-kept secrets and ask themselves important questions about who is deserving of forgiveness and who bears the cross of blame. Set in vividly drawn Texas, this beautiful yet heart-wrenching novel explores the intricacies of family and the ways bonds can be made, maintained, or irrevocably broken. "This novel will serve as a hand extended through the darkness to a great many of its readers."--Star Tribune (Minneapolis) "Like Walker's The Color Purple and Toni Morrison's The Bluest Eye, Perish lures readers past the pain with a spellbinding, buoyant use of language."--Texas Monthly "Miraculous and moving, light glimmers at the edges of this wise novel."--Esquire
