The Break

Product Information

Author Susan Piver recognizes that when a relationship ends, the anguish and disappointment can be crippling. She lovingly encourages readers to forget the typical advice about staying busy and moving on, and instead, pushes them to take this opportunity to self-transform. Throughout the book, she shares her own story of heartbreak and delivers a strong dose of hope to those who need it most. I liked the first part of it a lot. It was witty, intense. It was fast-paced. All of the characters were horrifyingly relatable. Jesse is wonderful and beautiful and ugh. Charlotte…wonderful and probably should have ran like the wind. Naomi is frustrating and sort of awful. If only it was that simple. She hadn’t read Hugh’s letter so she didn’t know the torment he was in. Letting him leave was my best chance of saving my marriage. Probably. The Rihanna kind? You’ve got to be joking me, because Rihanna is – what? – twenty-two and you’re –’

For any family looking for a mini adventure away or an easy break, Center Parcs should be on your radar. It’s suitable for children of all ages.” Katherena Vermette’s novel, is in a word, bleak. In saying that, it’s not an attempt to dissuade potential readers, just know that I found it tough to get through. On a positive note, while the subject matter is trying, many of the characters act as beacons of hope for a culture and crises that are often overlooked. Here's the thing with Break. First off it's a great read. The language is wonderful and the timing is great. I think this is young adult novel. That thought is neither here nor there but I thought I'd state it anyway. The pacing is almost spot on as well. Aside from that the author seems to be wise beyond her years. Hannah Moskowitz does a great job adding interesting information to the story at times when you don't expect it. Refreshing. This is a clever read as well. Our protagonist, is clearly defined with memorable attributes. So Jonah is trying to strengthen himself, and Naomi is helping him along. No one else knows what he's planning.Nach und nach enthüllt sich ein düsteres Bild der Familie Traverse. Wer hier einen polizeilichen Ermittlungskrimi erwartet, liegt falsch. Viel mehr geht es darum die Hintergründe der Tat zu beleuchten. Es geht um starke Frauen ( die weiß Gott stark sein müssen), Männer kommen in diesem Buch nicht gut weg. Es ist aus mehreren vorwiegend weiblichen Sichtweisen geschrieben, es bleiben immer Geheimnisse unausgesprochen, manches muss sich der Leser zwischen den Zeilen selbst erarbeiten. Da lohnt sich aber das aufmerksame Lesen.

The women in this woven story are so wonderful. Vulnerable and wary, curious and funny, loving and strong. But not that cliched type of strong that's so prevalent and often forced in fiction today. They aren't ~strong female characters~ because they were put through the wringer and made battered and broken for the reader's sake and that's why you're supposed to love them. No, they're strong because that's how they were raised and because of the strong bonds they have with each other. I fell in love with the women of this book. In fact, I think this is the book that has made me feel the most while reading it. The Break is the first novel by Canadian poet, film-maker and award-winning author, Katherena Vermette. Late one cold February night, a small-town Canadian Police Department gets a 911 call. Stella McGregor, a young Metis wife and mother, is witnessing an assault on a stretch of land known as The Break, adjacent to her home. While there are still signs of a scuffle in the snow by the time two officers arrive, they are dubious about the witness’s assertion that a woman has been raped: the broken beer bottle and the pool of blood point to a gang fight. I was incredibly disappointed we never found out why Will cried so much. This aspect of the story played such a huge part that it should have gotten a bit more attention in the end.
