A Rapariga Inglesa

Após ter lido diversas críticas bastante positivas, optei por ler esta obra de Daniel Silva. Fiquei agradavelmente surpreendida pela forma como a história se encadeia e pelo facto de mesmo quando achamos que é óbvia determinada situação, o autor consegue torná-la o oposto daquilo que tinhamos pensado.

Daniel Silva apresenta-nos personagens e lugares de forma subtil e desprovidos de uma descrição minuciosa e cansativa. Conseguimos vislumbrar todo o ambiente e as personagens sem nos serem dados grandes detalhes, proporcionando a possibilidade do leitor imaginar cada um daqueles locais e cada umas das personagens mencionadas.

Ao longo das 466 páginas d'A Rapariga Inglesa, o autor conta-nos uma história complexa, fruto, certamente, de muitas horas de pesquisa e criação de personagens e enredos. Um final surpreendente e apaixonante. Uma história que prende o leitor, com ações rápidas e escritas com especial desenvoltura. Mal posso esperar por ler outras obras do autor.

No final da obra, gostei especialmente da forma como Daniel Silva dá a conhecer um pouco da sua experiência, revelando detalhes da história, de como foi construída e explicando alguns factos, enquadrando-os com a realidade, apesar de fazer questão de frisar mais do que uma vez que a sua história é de total ficção.

Nonetheless, it was definitely a good documentary. The eyes of a killer Everything displayed in this story was terrible. The descriptions, Bundy’s posture, everything seemed like some sort of horror show, putting into perspective what we may consider to be lucky or unlucky in this life. Before I even start watching it, I read somewhere that this was the kind of thing you shouldn’t watch alone. Sounds accurate right now. At the time, and considering my, mostly academic, experience, I didn’t think that this could actually be so upsetting.
