I Want You to Know: A Posthumous Story Told by a Nineteen-Year-Old (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The narrative follows Sandy's experiences and those of her two sisters as they deal with an onslaught of tragedy. Jarett's story begins as he watches his family learn of his accident and he comes to terms with his "goneness." He weaves the darkness of his death into the lightness of the life he led growing up on the farm. There is a strong sense of place that Jarett reflects on and longs for, but mostly, there is family. Stories of misery run parallel to stories of a bucolic childhood, connecting the appalling with the appealing, showing the pain of loss and the reasons why leaving is so hard. This is a story that will tug at your heart with its truth.

"Reminiscent of the omniscient narrator of Alice Sebold's The Lovely Bones and the poetic prose of Sarah Manguso's The Two Kinds of Decay, I Want You to Know is a haunting story that expertly expands the boundaries of voice and form. At once a cautionary tale of teenage death and a beautiful elegy to a family and a place, I Want You to Know seeps into the reader, takes root, and leaves a lasting impression. Be prepared to be gripped by this narrative." ~ Jennifer Crystal, One Tick Stopped the Clock
