None of the characters were likable, I found Pru particularly irritating and the relationship she had with her children was bizarre! Kai visa istorija sutelpa vos į pustrečio šimto puslapių, faktas, kad tikiesi konkretaus, koncentruoto pasakojimo, neapkrauto visokia beletristika ir nereikalingom, dėmesį blaškančiom detalėm. Tikiesi, kad jau kai griebs ir pagaus, tai nuo pirmųjų puslapių. Bet būsiu atvira – man istorija išties prailgo, ypač įpusėjus knygą, kai praradau susidomėjimą, veikėjai tapo nuobodūs, o pašalinės pritemptos pasakojimo gijos tik pagadino visą reikalą (gerai, aišku, kad pabaiga pataisė situaciją!).

I found this book really disappointing. My first impressions were that this was going to be a dark comedy about gate-crashing funerals. As the book progressed I began to think it might be a thriller. Having finished the book I am still not sure which genre the author was going for! Moseley, Rachel (2002). Growing up with Audrey Hepburn: text, audience, resonance.

Our visual system is supposed to throw away information about the illuminant and extract information about the actual reflectance ... but I've studied individual differences in colour vision for 30 years, and this is one of the biggest individual differences I've ever seen.

Pakankamai plona knyga, bet savyje tiek daug slepianti. Kas iš pradžių pasirodė, viskas žinoma, nuspėjama bei laukta. O kai viskas ko tikėjausi baigėsi liko tik vieni netikėtumai. Pru is on her own. But then, so are plenty of other people. And while the loneliness can be overwhelming, surely she'll find a party somewhere? Brainard, DH; Hulbert, A (2015). "Colour Vision: Understanding #TheDress".

Pastebėjau tendenciją, kad naujausiuose leidyklos „Svajonių knygos“ kūriniuose, kuriuos skaičiau, pagrindinės veikėjos - išskirtinės asmenybės, tokios, kokių nesutiksime jokioje kitoje istorijoje. Pavyzdžiui, Olivė iš „(Ne)viskas įskaičiuota“ ar Marta iš „Regis, man ne viskas gerai“. Ne išimtis, aišku, ir Pru. Nors jai septyniasdešimt, daugelis teigtų, kad jos elgesys lyg kokios gyvybingos dvidešimtmetės, kiti, neabejoju, laikytų ją keistuole, kuriai ne visi namie, tačiau, mano nuomone, ji - puikus pavyzdys visiems, kurie iki šiol daugiau dėmesio skyrė ne sielos amžiui, o tam, kuris užrašytas pase ar gimimo liudijime.An experts lesson from the dress".

It’s enjoyable from start to finish. Knygoje, kurios pavadinime net įvardintas žodis - laidotuvės, jų tikrai netrūko. Man norėjosi daugiau Pru vizitų svetimose šermenyse, bet mirčių tikrai užtektinai, kas pridavė knygai papildomo jauduliuko. Kas tikrai natūraliai aprašyta, tai vienišos paliktos moters vidinė būsena, emocijos, mintys, sielvartas ir viskas pateikta taip įtaigiai.

Lastly: characterisation. I was disappointed to find the characters read as flat stereotypes for me. For example, there were lines thrown in that were racist or transphobic, with the sole purpose of trying to create a “typical” inappropriate and elderly character. This felt like a lazy injustice and I wish the characters had been developed beyond such problematic tropes. I also think I’m not alone in saying that Moggach’s writing seems confused and a bit all over the shop! I cannot for the life of me confine this book to a genre. A fellow book clubber described it as a book of two halves and I’m inclined to agree! There’s the beginning which is a mix of dark humour and seduction — it’s almost a romance! Then the latter: which is definitely more along the lines of a thriller, with even more seduction sprinkled in.
