The Hummingbird: ‘Magnificent’ (Guardian)

Product Information

She'd had so little love, he thought, I will drown her in it for the rest of her life". This from an alpha hero! How can you resist? Or it might be that I didn't choose the book myself, and might never have read it were it not for a bookgroup, and so I'm in a slightly querulous mood to start with, unfairly questioning the time I'm giving to the reading, and eyeing up other books I'd rather spend time with. Dopo però la cosa travalica ogni limite, il latte alle ginocchia diventa insostenibile, il libro si fa sempre più vomitevole mano a mano che le pagine progrediscono fino alle ultime nauseabonde dieci pagine che ho trovato davvero incommentabili. More than 540 spectacular color photographs, illustrating all 101 hummingbird genera and over two-thirds of the world’s 369species

The third story is an extraordinary one about a World War II Japanese pilot who fire bombs a forest in the US and his journey towards redemption and forgiveness. It’s one that you won’t soon forget and I found it to be a very powerful lesson.The Professor has written numerous volumes on the Pacific Theater and the Sword was the only one that never got published. As they read through the story together, the Professor helps Deborah understand the subtleties behind what Michael has brought home from the war. He uses parts of the story to help her gain insight into the clues he brings up that offer more than what she has been seeing all along. Deborah also finds that through each case she has worked with her patients, they all offer her the one thing that money can never buy and it's a gift she carries with her to each and every patient. She promises that she will do all she can to ensure that their death is peaceful, as painfree as possible and that they leave behind no regrets if she can help it. Ir, žinoma, širdį suplėšantis vyro, tėvo, senelio, brolio, sūnaus, mylimojo, kolegos, draugo portretas. I have to admit that it was the title that first drew me to this book as I love anything at all to do with hummingbirds. Although there was only a slight reference to the meaning of the title in the book, this gorgeous novel did not disappoint in any way. I loved all the relationships shown - each of them brought a little something special and new into Olive's heart and displayed a beautiful dynamic that resonated with each scene they shared. Her stepbrother, Hatch Malone, stole my heart with his screen-time and all I wanted to do was envelop him in a warm hug. The love of family and power of friendship of the BlumeBird Society was prevalent throughout -each character breathed to life and soared with their conviction and care for Olive. 🤍🤍 Gli ultimi due capitoli sono tra i più brutti mai letti (non battono il finale di Numero 11 di Coe, solo perché è imbattibile), la nipote-manga si trasforma in Greta e lui diventa Siddartha. Ma …. un editor che si preoccupi di tirar giù le vele nere dalla nave** ed evitare che il lettore si sfracelli sugli scogli?!

Jesse stood for everything she hated: he was rude, violent, roughly handsome and disturbingly sensual. First of all, I like author's writing style and her ability to develop everyday's life events so naturally in her story. Although sometimes these events seemed boring, I admit that they were needed for the sake of characterization and story progress. Because no life should be a whisper. Remember that, okay? You’re not a miracle because you have brittle bones or because you use a wheelchair or walker. You’re not a miracle if you don’t.Stephen worked for decades as a journalist, winning over 40 awards.

Customer reviews

Belki son sayfalarını Cunda'da bir sonbahar akşamı gün batarken ıssız bir meydana bakarken okuduğum için bunca içime işledin. (O akşamüstünün hissini hiç unutmayacağım, biliyorum.) Belki anlattığın; bir ailenin yıllara yayılan kopuş öyküsünün bir benzerini yaşadığım, annemle babamın ayrıldığı yerde seni okuduğum için beni gafil avladın ve derimin altına nüfuz etmeyi başardın, bilmiyorum. Proust'un Madlen'i gibi, istem dışı belleğim devreye girdi, bu kitap ve bu ada bir araya gelince beni çok acayip yerlere götürdü. An absolutely fabulous book that glitters with quality every bit as much as its avian subjects do in real life. A must-buy."—James Lowen, Neotropical Birding Hem kolay okunan, hem lezzetinden taviz vermeyen, hem insanın kalbine girebilen bir kitap. Daha ne olsun. Eren Cendey'e de ayrıca teşekkür etmeli, yazarın şiirli dilini böyle bir çeviriden okuyabildiğimiz için çok şanslıyız.
