The Girls- Emma Cline

I read this book at my roommate’s recommendation. I loved Emma Cline’s writing style and creative, metaphorical way of structuring a story. I particularly loved a line describing the sound of a burger being pressed into a park grill as a “bored, wet sizzle”. “Bored and wet” is exactly how I’d want to describe that sound, were I able to pull that from my brain. 

I appreciate authors who put a name and concrete description to things I can’t, and I think that’s why I found this book compelling.

Una parte di me si sentiva effettivamente bene, o forse stavo confondendo la familiarità con la felicità. Perchè quella c’era, anche quando non c’era l’amore: la rete della famiglia, la purezza dell’abitudine e della propria casa. Era una quantità di tempo incalcolabile, quella che si passava a casa, e forse era quanto di meglio si potesse desiderare: quel senso di perenne chiusura entro un confine, come grattare con l’unghia cercando la fine del rotolo di scotch senza trovarla mai. Non c’erano giunture, non c’erano interruzioni : solo i punti fermi della tua vita che avevi talmente assorbito da non esserne più neanche consapevole. Il piatto sbeccato con il disegno del salice che era il mio preferito per ragioni ormai dimenticate. La carta dei parati all’ingresso che conoscevo in maniera talmente profonda da non poterla spiegare a nessun altro: ogni gruppetto sbiadito di palme color pastello, le diverse personalità che attribuivo a ciascun ibisco in boccio.

NEW YORK — Boat: “Yes, my name is Boat, like sailboat. There is no great meaning behind it. My parents are eccentric and gave me a fun name. By eccentric I mean that they’re kind, free-thinkers. My dad recommended this book to me because he loved it. The story is about growing up as a girl. Each sentence feels very truthful. The women in the story are objects of admiration and the main character Evie lusts after them and their aura. I’ve had plenty of girl crushes in my life so I relate to her and want to be like the girls in the story. I don’t know what happens to them but I’m drawn in.” @lil.boat #TheGirls #EmmaCline / @theubc for #subwaybookreview #newyork 🗽#repost (at Manhattan, New York)

Follow: @readsavread I recently finished The Girls by Emma Cline. High tension and immaculate imagery were paired with accurately portrayed adolescent thought. Cline's characterization was breathtaking. I could go on and on about this amazing story. I definitely recommend that you all get your hands on this bestselling book.

Just finished reading 'The Girls' by Emma Cline, and started 'White Bicycles' by Joe Boyd. Besides covering the same era (and being endlessly fascinating), they couldn't be more different. 🚲'White Bicycles' is the autobiography of Joe Boyd, who seemed to have been there for every major event in rock and roll history, from bringing American blues artists to European audiences, to being Dylan's sound engineer at the Newport Folk Festival, to running the hippie club where Pink Floyd were the house band. And this is only halfway through the book! I can't wait to read the rest. 🎸🎶 Emma Cline's novel, on the other hand, is an account of a teenage girl mesmerized by the older, cooler hippie chicks of a barely-fictionalized Manson Family. This is the only piece of Manson-related media I've ever come across that gives a plausible explanation for what would lead young girls to commit such brutal murders on command. And it's such a horrifyingly mundane explanation. Highly recommended. 🚺🔪

“La pulsera del tobillo era sumergible, no había problema en ducharse con ella, pero él había creído, al principio, que tenía que mantenerla fuera del agua, así que había empezado a darse baños. Y ahora lo prefería, le gustaba sentirse como una bolsita de té, a remojo en agua hirviendo.” Harvey Emma Cline Traduce Inga Pellisa Edita @anagramaeditor #harvey #emmacline #anagrama #libros #lecturas #ficción #novela #reading #read #bookstagramespaña #bookstagram #booklover #bookstagrammer #bookaddict #booknerd #playmobilandbooks #booklife #bookscenes #playmobilscenes #playmobillife #playmobil #plajmobiltime #playmobilholic #playmobilcollector #playmobilworld #playmobilfigures #raw_toys #playmobilphoto #playmobilmania #planetaeris (en Editorial Anagrama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNuuIX1lW8a/?igshid=92slmzlq6k4n
