The concept of the novel is fantastic and very different from her previous novels, yet it’s also full of many clever twists and turns you don’t see coming which is one of her trademarks.
E cioè, mi fa pensare soprattutto a una storia di genitori a disagio con figli adolescenti che crescono e si comportano in modo anomalo (leggi violento). Wrong Place Wrong Time sets the stage with a murder unfolding right before the eyes of a shocked mother waiting up late one night for her son. No, there are some parts that didn't really make sense and by the end of the story I believed that Jen had lived the most clueless life possible, yet it was still incredibly fast paced and captivating.Ma può permetterselo, perché è la notte di sabato 30 ottobre, gli orologi tornano indietro di un’ora, recuperano l’ora solare e abbandonano quella “legale” (che di legale ha davvero poco). The characters were intriguing and the suspense was excellent but most of all, it was a mind game with a difference.
Piuttosto, ho in mente il romanzo di Martin Amis Time’s Arrow – La freccia del tempo, la storia di un criminale nazista vissuta, o rivissuta, a ritroso: a partire dalla morte del protagonista per terminare con la sua nascita.If you enjoy a mystery, suspense and time travel story with a hints of “Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle” then you will love this. When Jen sees her son commit a murder right in front of their house, she’s understandably devastated and determined to help him in anyway she can. This makes sense, given how focused Jen is on her own disaster, but the sharp focus on the main characters can make things seem a little fuzzy at the edges. She's caught in that loop transcending time to events in the past that may eventually shine a light on that murder that night at the hands of her son. This unique story starts on Day Zero with Jen waiting for her eighteen-year-old son Todd to get home.
Some novels have taught me small lessons, some large, and Wrong Place Wrong Time the largest of all: that to have a child will be a lot like falling in love, as simple and as complex as that.
The central characters of Jen, son Todd and husband Kelly are very good and because you grow to like them so much (especially Todd) you go on an emotional journey with Jen as she beats herself up with maternal guilt but so much love for her son. To do that she has to go far, far back in time, getting to the roots of her most important relationships. I am happy that I picked up this book to read, which has multiple themes embedded in it and multiple genre crossovers. But besides the few people like Daniel Craig where their eyes literally pierce you with their brightness, let’s just stop making it significant.
Each day she relives in the past she sees through new eyes, catches new things, chases new leads, and learns more and more about her life and family and what led up to that fateful day. Channels Groundhog Day with an endlessly replayed murder, as a woman's unassuming son kills a stranger - over and over again. God’s love is not predicated on good behavior but in the fact that he’s our heavenly Father and Creator who loves us because we are his. I don't want to talk them up though, since whether or not you'll be surprised will depend on what you've seen before.
I was so happy to read from an article written by the author that the writing of this book changed the whole outlook of the author towards motherhood which made her decide to have a baby. In some ways, Jen is taking inspiration from him, who has been so good at lying that his secrets have been hidden in plain sight. The author succeeded in making the readers curious to know how far a mother will go to save his son.
