When everything is possible.
The new book of Elizabeth Straut, like her famous Olivia Kitteridge, is a novel about lost childhood. Each story in it is a tense drama, where in the center is a gloomy past and almost hopeless present.
If childhood passed in the home hell, with a father - a rapist, how difficult it will be to live with this secret? Is it possible to forgive a mother, who failed to protect against cruelty? One incorrectly spoken word in childhood can return to the present in the present, causing pain, shame and despair. Secrets that you carefully keep can swim out at any time.
in "when everything is possible" all the heroes are dependent on their own past, and the present sets traps.
Silver star.
Having grown up in a family, far from the traditional idea of education, Jannett Walls, like no other knows what it feels like to live in a world where you have to suffer from the eagerness, unbalancedness of their own parents.
Twelve -year -old bin Holliday and her fifteen -year -old sister Liz fall into a difficult situation: their frivolous mother trying to make a career as a singer reaches a nervous breakdown and leaves an indefinite period. In order not to be in the shelter, the girls go to the only relative to Virginia. They begin to get used to a new, relatively calm life, but, alas, they will have another test, perhaps, the worse than all the previous ones
