Лоис Лоури4.1 Вторая часть тетралогии Лоис Лоури, как и “Дающий”, описывает замкнутое сообщество со своими жесткими законами. После глобальной катастрофы на Земле, похоже, не осталось ни городов, ни машин, ни железных дорог. Девочка Кира живет в поселке, где помощь ближнему – редкость, добыть еду – удача, а смерть подстерегает любого – от болезни или от лап хищных тварей. У хромой сироты Киры мало шансов, тем более что соседи считают ее обузой и хотят убить. Но сделать это без разрешения Хранителей нельзя. Выдержать ненависть соседей и суд Старейшин Кире позволяет ее удивительный дар – она и сама не догадывалась, на что способна.
С «Дающим», первой частью тетралогии, «В поисках синего» связывает лишь тонкая ниточка (хотя внимательный читатель найдет в ней ответ на главный вопрос – о судьбе Джонаса). И тем не менее эти книги очень похожи: в обеих описывается мир, который населяющие его люди воспринимают как правильный и единственно возможный, и только главные герои осознают, что он пронизан ложью и должен стать другим.
Сара Дессен3.8 Странный, спокойный Роджерсон, с своими длинными коричневыми дредами и сияющими зелеными глазами, был для Кэйтлин отдушиной: с ним она могла быть кем-угодно, а не просто тенью своей старшей сестры, Кэсс. Но вскоре она начинает тонуть в пустоте, которою оставила после себя Кэсс, разбив все семейные надежды и убежав с бойфрендом. Кэйтлин попадает в мир наркотиков и жестокого обращения, потерянная в поисках самой себя.
Почему многие девушки примиряются с такими отношениями? В своем новом романе Сара Дессен ищет ответ на этот вопрос.
