Paulson, Terry. "Ten Movies Earn an American Values Award for 2019". Townhall . Retrieved 2022-03-04. Sammy Pipps isn’t simply clever,’ argued Arent. ‘He can lift up the edges of the world and peek beneath. He has a gift I’ll never understand. Believe me, I’ve tried.’" I think I need some time to properly “digest” (if you’ll excuse me using that word in the context) this story.

In every life, I now believe, there is one event that is the wellspring of fundamental agony and decision in us. It lies beneath the sunlit layers of the present moment, throwing its shade across the foundations of our being, forming the self to come. If grasped and brought to the surface, it can save us or destroy us.” I agree with the user comment above in regard to the fact that teenagers will not appreciate this film. I kept telling myself as I was watching it, that it is not a movie that kids will understand. I shouldn't say 'all' kids, but probably most. Ironically, this is a movie that kids should see because they can learn about elements that a good movie usually contains: developed characters, a good plot, and excellent acting, to name a few. Not to mention that the movie gives the viewer a lot to think about and is an expertly crafted piece of psychological suspense. And I loved the way she found ways to work around the patriarchy that governed every moment of her life. Simply put, the writing just doesn't feel natural. In many cases, it feels downright awkward, the worst offender being the dialogue. It is obvious - and appreciated - that the author is trying to recreate the indirect and (overly) formal tone of a 19th-century upper-class man, but I often feel that the author is deliberately tweaking her prose to achieve this effect. The adjectives are often Big Words, and the characters talk like books (in fact, if you took away the quotation marks, you might not be able to tell the dialogue from the narration). But instead of 19th-century Boston, I imagined an author writing furiously with a thesaurus at her side, and school play actors who just want to go home but are forced to stay on stage until their lines are over.Themes of hunger, physical and spiritual, recur in this story and the writing is often lovely. Not an easy read, but an interesting one. No happy end to the story and I felt for the female characters who were so constrained in what they could hope for from life.

Seek this book out, especially if you’re a lover of historical fiction. It’s a voyage you will not regret climbing aboard, even if Hiram Carver himself regrets every minute of it. I found this book a bit of a struggle if I am perfectly honest. There is a lot of underlying meaning behind the book which I didn't always follow - or indeed want to follow. There is a lot of discussion about the metaphysical aspects of the mind and the intricacies of that within this story. This aspect of the book just wasn't for me & I found myself skipping over sections. In this book. In myself for not DNF'ing it. In the unfulfilled potential this story had. But I'm getting ahead of myself. DarkWater by #ElizabethLowry (published by riverrun, a subsidiary of Quercus Books) is uniquely difficult to explain, and, therefore, review. You almost need to read it for yourself to understand all the connections.A five star read (which I would award more to if I could) that kept me enraptured and entertained from start to finish! Would I recommend? Aye,aye captain I would!

Arent and Sara were similarly 'good'. Unlike most other people on the boat they do not approve of the FSI International, now TEL FSI and Chaska, Minnesota. The merger concluded during the Teflon Lawsuit.Whether this is a devil dressed as a man, or a man dressed as a devil, our course of action remains the same.’ There were quite a few moments that were meant to 'unnerve' the reader but I personally found them comical. Dark Water feels like a classic novel – despite being a (historic) contemporary debut. Like it could have been released many, many years ago. Not because it is literally set over a century ago, but because of its strength. Its lasting impact. And I think the story itself can stand alone as its own classic, regardless of its imminent debut. It should also be noted that I've always been one to prefer plot/character over prose - and in that respect Dark Water more than surpassed my expectations. However, I feel it is important to mention this minor quibble because (a) yes, taste in prose is subjective, but I did almost dnf the book over it; and (b) I enjoyed Dark Water mostly because I agreed with its message (or more accurately, its message as I perceived it), and this may not be the case for other readers. In all fairness, I’m not quite sure yet how I feel about Dark Water. It’s a very dark and unique novel, that at times was difficult and uncomfortable to read. At the same time it’s well-crafted and did a great job at putting my brain to work with everything that is contained in it.

Secondly, I feel I should give a hearty thanks to the people of Quercus, for sending this book to me. It was a delight and an adventure to read, even though ‘delight’ feels like too light a word. Especially to stand beneath such a heavy narrative. At any rate, on Thursday I will be voyaging down to Waterstones, and purchasing another copy. As a reader, I greatly enjoyed this book, but as a writer I found it incredibly inspiring. This is a book I’d like to keep on my shelf, and return to when I’m in need of a reminder of the sheer force and power that good writing can muster.
