Representaion Supposing Books Bone Gap

Everyone knows Bone Gap is full of gaps—gaps to trip you up, gaps to slide through so you can disappear forever. So when young, beautiful Roza went missing, the people of Bone Gap weren’t surprised. After all, it wasn’t the first time that someone had slipped away and left Finn and Sean O’Sullivan on their own. Just a few years before, their mother had high-tailed it to Oregon for a brand new guy, a brand new life. That’s just how things go, the people said. Who are you going to blame?

Finn knows that’s not what happened with Roza. He knows she was kidnapped, ripped from the cornfields by a dangerous man whose face he cannot remember. But the searches turned up nothing, and no one believes him anymore. Not even Sean, who has more reason to find Roza than anyone, and every reason to blame Finn for letting her go.

As we follow the stories of Finn, Roza, and the people of Bone Gap—their melancholy pasts, their terrifying presents, their uncertain futures—acclaimed author Laura Ruby weaves a heartbreaking tale of love and loss, magic and mystery, regret and forgiveness—a story about how the face the world sees is never the sum of who we are.

Assessment Regarding Books Bone Gap

★★★★★★★★★★[10/10]Bone Gap is a lot of things that other books aren't. Funny.Lyrical. Heartrending.Mystical. Quasi-believable. The words are poetic. Metaphors come to life. Cute boy Moonface slips into surrealistic otherworlds through gaps in the corn fields. A scarecrow who teaches in a university kidnaps a girl and imprisons her in imaginary places. Moonface has strange shortcomings. But he is easily forgiving, and a bit on the chivalrous side. It is one of those rare eccentric stories of a boy

Funny how you notice how beautiful things are just when you're about to leave them. It is amazing how a novel focusing on only three characters can feel like one of the most human experiences of your recent reading history. Bone Gap is about the burden of the past, and the roles we have to take on to escape that past. Bone Gap is a magical realism retelling of the Hades and Persephone myth, sort of combined with the Orpheus and Eurydice myth, and though at times slow, it is exceptionally

The dreamy quality of the writing in Bone Gap is out-of-this-world. That had been weeks ago. Time moved so slowly here, or was it quickly? She had become unmoored from the present, loose and untethered, her mind rolling forward into the future, anticipating, and then dropping again into this torturous, unbearable present.Here, there, everywhere. See? See what I mean? How is that anything but beautiful??And I found myself almost holding my breath for moments with Roza and Sean. Oh how hard I ship

I haven't read much magical realism. One notable example would be Jellicoe Road, which has an aspect of magical realism that adds a degree of richness to the character relationships and a poignancy to the story.Which springboards straight into my problems with Bone Gap: there isn't much story underneath the magical realism. What is the book about, exactly? The hole a missing woman left in a town? Who populates this town, anyway? The brothers' relationship, which is central to their story, feels

To hear many more of my thoughts about this book, check out this podcast with my best friend!In a word: stunning. The spread of star ratings you'll find for this book absolutely points to how not-for-everyone this book is. It's hard for me to accept, though, because I feel like I found an absolute treasure. It was thoughtful and beautiful and meaningful and emotional. I ended up having to read this a lot slower than I imagined because every time I opened the book, I felt unmoored. The mix of

Read this review @ my blog Wonderless Reviews I received a copy of this book from Allen and Unwin in exchange for an honest review. If theres a book thats impossible to review then guaranteed Ill love it and have to review it! Im having A LOT of the same issues with trying to review this book as I did with Strange the Dreamer, but hopefully I can be somewhat coherent.I fell in love with Magical Realism last year because I find the concept so fascinating. I know its not for everyone because its

Somehow I forgot that this is a magical realism book before I started it.I remembered halfway through, but before that, I couldnt for the life of me understand why this contemporary story had so many weird and unrealistic elements.I kept trying to find realism everywhere I looked, but of course that wasnt the way to go. So when I finally remembered that such elements were to be expected, I stopped trying so hard and began to enjoy the story as it is.Talking corn? Awesome! Creepy castle? Bwah,
