Ten-year-old Jamie Matthews has just moved to the Lake District with his Dad and his teenage sister, Jasmine for a "Fresh New Start." Five years ago his sister's twin, Rose, was blown up by a terrorist bomb. His parents are wrecked by their grief, Jasmine turns to piercing, pink hair, and stops eating. The family falls apart. But Jamie hasn't cried in all that time. To him Rose is just a distant memory. Jamie is far more interested in his cat, Roger, his birthday Spiderman T-shirt, and in keeping his new friend Sunya a secret from his dad. And in his deep longing and unshakeable belief that his Mum will come back to the family she walked out on months ago. When he sees a TV ad for a talent show, he feels certain that this will change everything and bring them all back together once and for all.… (mere)

It may be written for middle grade but this is a really beautiful exploration of what grief does to a family. ( )

Mi hermana vive sobre la repisa de la chimenea
Annabel Pitcher
Publicado: 2011 | 176 páginas
Novela Drama

Un matrimonio acaba de perder a una hija en el atentado terrorista del nueve de septiembre en Londres y este hecho desencadena una crisis familiar. La madre se va a vivir con su amante, el padre, desesperado, idolatra la urna de las cenizas de la fallecida y se dedica a beber, despreocupándose de sus otros dos hijos. La narración corre a cargo del pequeño —Jamie— que tiene diez años y va relatando desde su óptica lo que sucede: sus juegos y aventuras escolares, la complicidad con su hermana, el desinterés y falta de cariño de su madre, así como la amistad con una niña musulmana, algo que enfurece a su padre que se ha convertido en enemigo acérrimo de los musulmanes. El libro está notablemente bien escrito para tratarse de una primera novela contada a través de la voz en primera persona de una mirada infantil que contempla el mundo con una ingenuidad que va convirtiéndose poco a poco en desengaño aunque las páginas rebosan de gestos de humor y ternura. La narración es lineal con un lenguaje sencillo que adopta un formato como de soliloquio incluyendo los brevísimos diálogos que aparecen en la novela como frases entrecomilladas dentro del párrafo, logrando un magnifica semblanza del protagonista y demostrando una profunda observación de la realidad vista con la mentalidad de un niño que, habitualmente, está cargada de sentido común. Están certeramente reflejados ciertos conflictos como los prejuicios raciales, la problemática de la adolescencia, algunas incoherencias de los adultos, las consecuencias del desarraigo familiar, etc. El tono general es respetuoso y trata con delicadeza ciertos temas difíciles. Aunque el argumento deja un regusto de tristeza se equilibra bien con los múltiples detalles de chispeante humor y la simpatía del protagonista.

Jamie’s sister Rose lives on the mantelpiece, in an urn that houses her ashes. She was killed by one of the bombs on 7/7 in London, and her family has not been the same since. I read the audiobook narrated by David Tennant, who is a very good narrator. However, I found the book itself to move a bit slowly, to the point where I borrowed an ebook from the library to finish it off. ( )

Han pasado cinco años desde que Rose murió en un atentado terrorista islámico en el centro de Londres. Su hermano, Jamie, de diez años, no ha podido llorar todavía, aunque sabe que debería hacerlo porque toda su familia lo hizo. Las cosas no van nada bien desde entonces: su padre bebe cada vez más, su madre los ha abandonado, Jasmine, la gemela de Rose, ha dejado de comer y Jamie tiene muchas preguntas que nadie le responde. Pero, un día, un anuncio de televisión le hace soñar con que todo vuelva a ser como antes...

I felt a bit old for this book, I see lots of people tagging it as YA but the main character is ten and the narrating in many ways feels like it's aimed at younger people. But I might be wrong. My grandmother asked me to tell you she's sorry, for example, features a young protagonist but is not really for kids.

Anyway, no matter who it is aimed for I greatly enjoyed it and it deals with such heavy and dark themes (death, alcoholism, islamophobia, bullying ...) that I don't think I could've read it from like an adults POV. Or even Jasmine's POV.

While the story is charming and Jamie is a good protagonist, the star of the book is obviously Sunya. I loved her, the Hijabi-wearing Hero. Her fucking revenge schemes were BEYOND amazing and I loved how positive and cool she managed to be even when she was surrounded by all those douchebags of her class. And her banter with Jamie about how many people the two superheroes saved made me smile like an idiot.

So, yeah, I may have been too old for this, but it didn't stop me from enjoying it. Far from it. ( )
