Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Taylor Markham is an unconventional leader at Jellicoe School, known for her erratic behavior and lack of social skills. Despite her shortcomings, her long-term residency at the school gives her an edge as tensions rise between the boarders, townies, and the newly arrived cadets led by the notorious Jonah Griggs. As the territory wars reignite, Taylor grapples with personal mysteries, including a prayer tree, a hermit’s whispers, and a drawing that stirs memories at the local police station. Her quest to uncover her past intensifies when Hannah, the woman who found her, mysteriously vanishes, leaving behind an unfinished manuscript about five kids whose lives intertwined two decades earlier on Jellicoe Road. The narrative unfolds with a blend of intrigue and emotional depth, showcasing the complexity of Taylor's journey and the connections that bind the characters across time. Critics praise the novel for its sophisticated storytelling, evocative prose, and the author’s talent for crafting compelling characters. Readers find themselves deeply immersed, with some even losing track of time while reading.
