Sweet Sorrow
Описание и характеристики
Charlie meets Fran...
In 1997, Charlie Lewis is the kind of boy you dont remember in the school photograph. His exams have not gone well. At home he is looking after his father, when surely it should be the other way round, and if he thinks about the future at all, it is with a kind of dread.
Then Fran Fisher bursts into his life and despite himself, Charlie begins to hope.
But if Charlie wants to be with Fran, he must take on a challenge that could lose him the respect of his friends and require him to become a different person. He must join the Company. And if the Company sounds like a cult, the truth is even more appalling.
The price of hope, it seems, is Shakespeare.
Poignant, funny, enchanting, devastating, Sweet Sorrow is a tragicomedy about the rocky path to adulthood and the confusion of family life, a celebration of the reviving power of friendship and that brief, searing explosion of first love that can only be looked at directly after it has burned out.

О чем речь? Жизнь Чарли довольно далека от совершенства. Пока большинство его друзей строят планы на свое академическое будущее, Чарли уже уверен, что провалил экзамены. Его мама только что ушла от отца к другому мужчине, забрав с собой младшую сестру, а Чарли оставил дома собирать осколки разрушенной жизни отца. Его будущее выглядит довольно мрачным, но все меняется, когда Чарли однажды уходит, пытаясь скоротать время ленивых летних дней, и натыкается на девушку по имени Фрэн, которая меняет весь ход его лета.
Мастерское письмо Дэвида Николлса привлекло меня к этому роману с первой страницы, вызвав сочувствие и сострадание к истории Чарли. По мере продолжения романа я отчаянно желал, чтобы отношения Чарли и Фрэн продолжались, хотя с самого начала было ясно, что этого не произойдет (не спойлер! Почти сразу выяснилось, что Чарли на самом деле женится на женщине по имени Ниам). «Сладкие печали» — это интересная и искренняя книга, с которой большинство читателей почувствуют связь.
