Nights of rain and stars - Maeve Binchy (audiobook)
My beloved Maeve Binchy, and this time I did not disappoint. Always reach for her, when I read the kind and wise novel, with the rest, as when his beloved grandmother's tales, when a tired child sits down at her feet. The course and exams, and have just finished, I had begun two books, in desperation I reached for the third, because I did not go those, and eventually read the ears, because while commuting on the train, I could hear it in your car.
action of this novel takes place in Greece. Never been there, but I've always wanted. I was wondering how to describe this country or Maeve Binchy. It is well known that, in seeking the right place and topic, which describes a novel happening in the medical community wrote after months of stay in hospital, do not be surprised if it turned out that the place described in Greece were her holiday destination.
on the Greek island of Aghia Anna, four people meet in a tavern. This is a very special night, because then just a cruise ship is burned, and killed people - tourists and Greeks who work there. This tragedy affects all. Join in pain with the owner of the tavern, in the face of this event, their relationship is extremely strengthen as people are on holiday.
Fiona - Irish nurse along with her boyfriend Shane, that no one consumes, Elsa - German TV presenter, David - shy Englishman who runs away from possessive mother and father who can not make a stand, and Thomas - Lecturer university of California, divorced, decided to disappear from sight his ex and her son when she goes out for the second time married. It is the story of one summer, we meet them all one by one, their motives, the story of how they were there, why and what they intend. Resolve to spend more time on the island than they intended, Thomas even a year, meet local people, zżywają with them, especially with Vonni, an Irish middle-aged, who lives there permanently. Conversations with the wise and experienced woman by force, help them make decisions.
This novel has done me well. Melted even in the Greek climate. If you think that is a classic chic-lit, then you are mistaken in error, as he said my mathematician. Anyway, I do not know if I'm going to Binchy uncritical. She can no common history to do something so ujutnego, interesting, touching, words that do not have.
A male dance scene after the funeral of the victims of a fire on board so moved me that I had to stop the car on the track, so I cried. And it's actually much, I have nothing clever to say here, because it is not for wisdom but about feelings. Just an inch Maeve Binchy.
Audiobook read Elizabeth Kiev and doing it well. I love her voice and manner of reading, listening to a few novels by it recorded, and always very happy when I see that once again she is a teacher.
Just two words about this Polish-cover is terrible, once again, in the case of this novel writer for the Polish market - great Skucha. In life I did not buy this book, I was looking for some czytadła, but not stupid. In contrast, our Irish edition has more in the atmosphere was even more fun, but I can not find it. Oh, no luck Maeve Polish editions.

Welcome Greeting For Church Breakfast
Chris - Aleksander Minkowski
Pamiętam, kiedy czytałam tę książkę jako kilkunastoletnia pannica. Najpierw nie mogłam uwierzyć swojemu szczęściu, kiedy wynalazłam tę powieść w antykwariacie, a potem jeszcze tej samej nocy łyknęłam ją w całości. Mama nie była z tych, które mnie ganiały i tłumaczyły, że oczy zmarnuję. Sama zresztą też w nocy czytała.
Dosyć ryzykowne jest wchodzić do tej samej wody. Wiadomo, czasy inne i upodobania też, chociażby z powodu wieku.
Nie mogę powiedzieć, że ta powieść oparła się upływowi lat, bo bym skłamała, ale wydaje mi się, that the fact of stigmatization siedemdziesiątymi years, and even the post-war history back because, in this case acts in favor of the book. A few sentences about the content, she'd better not wrote:

| "teenage heroes in 1975 published a novel for young people grow into longplayach Santana, holidays on Lake Balaton and pants with" Texas ". They have to face the legend of his parents' wartime youth. Parents who after leaving the guerrillas are not always able to find, in fact, demanding obedience and conformity. Or worse, they discovered as well, denying the old ideals. Adopted by relatives of Christopher Hamlet Trickle is to measure PRL 70s In conflict with each other, full of hatred for the adoptive father, wearing the mask of a clown happy and a madman. Raj orphanage taught him not to trust people and expect from them, only suffering and humiliation. When Christopher does not seem to class final award, the domestic conflict reached its apogee. Finally, a car loaded with suitcases leaving for holidays in Hungary, and Chris is at home with no regrets and no hope of reconciliation. breakthrough brings the story heard from a drunk. On the trail of a respected doctor falls for treason. At the end of the war was entrusted to him to rob a laboratory and a friend trying to stop him lead to disability. Chris goes to look for witnesses to these events. Travel the truth turns out to be a journey to self-knowledge. Chris meets the love, devotion, learning to understand and control their feelings. Reconciled with each other can come to terms with his father. Especially since the stories of former colleagues Dr. Streaks there is a man rough, but steadfast. " At first I could not get used to a little archaic narrative and the problems seemed hollow unnecessarily, but then reprimanded myself that it's youth, after all, so hold your horses, lady, and besides, at that age all problems are just so endlessly rolls. Take it easy and I finished listening pleasure. What does not change the fact that it is mainly interesting for those who are my age, 40 +, on a memoir, because today's teens are their Christopher Minkowski rather not impressed. But what is surprising is known, Panta Rhei, everything flows and nothing is the same, and certainly not after 37 years since the first edition.
