"Le Passeur de Prospera" de Justin Cronin 😍😍😍

Ayant beaucoup aimé sa précédente trilogie Le Passage, j’étais curieuse de découvrir le nouveau roman de Justin Cronin, Le Passeur de Prospera.

J’ai globalement beaucoup apprécié ma lecture. Le début est particulièrement accrocheur, l’auteur nous propulsant sans aucune explication dans un lieu a priori idéal, caché du reste du monde, à l’abri de tout. Proctor y mène une vie tranquille, aux côtés de son épouse. Il apprécie son travail de passeur, consistant à accompagner les retraités jusqu’au ferry les menant sur une île pour y être « réitérés ». Tout se passe à merveille jusqu’au jour où il doit y conduire son père et que celui-ci lui murmure : « Le monde n’est pas le monde. Tu n’es pas toi. » Commencent alors une remise en question de ce monde paradisiaque et une quête de vérité.

Ce roman mystérieux révèle petit à petit ses clés. Quand on pense avoir tout compris, une révélation surgit, balayant au passage nos suppositions. Justin Cronin a su encore une fois créer une histoire passionnante. Seuls bémols : quelques longueurs, et je n’ai pas ressenti de réelle surprise quant aux révélations finales (je dois lire trop de SF !). Il n’en demeure pas moins que j’ai été happée par ce roman, à la fois addictif et émouvant.

The Ferryman REVIEW

#TheHillsofCalifornia is amazing and an entrancing play, almost reaching the peaks of #Jerusalem and #TheFerryman. Well done Jez, Sam, Laura and the rest of the cast and crew

Book 87 The Ferryman by Justin Cronin

Enjoyable and intriguing. Complex and diverse.
I found the ending a bit underwhelming but overall it was a very good read.

Best not to read too much about it to avoid spoilers, though, because it's a story that really takes you to unexpected places.

So back in April, or May of this year, I met the author, Justin Cronin at a book signing a signing here in Boston. He had just come out with a new book, called the ferryman. I recently got the ferryman through Apple books, and I love it so far. The book is about 18 hours long, and I have just gotten started with it. #Reading #Books #TheFerryman #JustinCronin.

Okay yeah this episode was pretty great.

In fact, I'm inclined to say, whether or not you intend to watch the series, #TheFerryMan episode 5 is a good watch.

While it hints at a developing meta plot, it's self contained enough to watch it without spoiling yourself much, or getting lost.

Okay I really like this episode.

The supernatural is really only half the story here, and it's doing a good job of making those themes run in parallel.

You have Xiao Yu, a viral poster/sometimes whistleblower on weibo, losing her day job as a reporter, preparing to expose some criminal conspiracy that's already claimed lives.

And our lead Dong Qing struggling with the knowledge that Xiao Yu is likely going to die, courtesy of his visions.

Seems like the ghost is a big spender. Not bad, if your work is to make commissions of one off custom designed clothing from your established customers.

Also it seems like 2014 was a very different time wrt broadcasting rules/trends. Either that or this was in a format not subject to them.
