I was definitely not convinced that I would love this book, but I did nonetheless. I was in my 8th month of pregnancy with my superb child and the themes of parent/child relationships and of mothers never feeling like their best was good enough were horrifying and addictive. I'd love to re-read this 10-20 days down the road and see if I feel the same amount of fear and trepidation in reading it again.
Riveting, Shocking, Disturbing - This book has it all.
Don't let the lengthy represent list inside the front cover discourage you from reading this novel. The plot is truly current and covers a wide range of emotions. Reviews which note this book as a courtroom drama frankly do not do it justice; it would like revealing the television series BREAKING BAD is near a science teacher with a health scrape or that To Kill a Mockingbird is the story of an older dad who is a widower in a microscopic town. Author Angie Kim weaves together the struggling Korean immigrant combine (the Yoo family) whose teenage daughter Mary is not totally thrilled with her new country. Still, Mary's lack of friends at school and privacy at home, particularly at her age, make her sympathetic.There is also a mixed-race combine (Matt Thompson and wife Janine Cho) who are enjoying their financial weakened as medical professionals despite a traumatic injure to radiologist Matt. However, characters whose names are further down on the list (which extends to a transfer page) have pivotal roles as well. There are some microscopic town elements such as gossip, competitiveness plus the mothers (who"mothers" best?) and emotional argues while raising children with autism, cerebral palsy and ADHD. The characters' lives understand more deeply involved as a result of the experimental hyperbaric oxygenation benefit center. No character is left unaffected by the tragic stay, and no reader will progress through the chapters exclusive of experiencing changing loyalties toward the characters. This is a book that lends itself to intense book club discussions.
LinZThis book stirred memories
Angie Kim's current hooked me with the opening line! This is a cancel mystery, but also it examines the life of families with special maintains children as well as immigrant families in the US. Both play a mainly role in the story. As a mom of a daughter with autism and it appointed me to go and remember the feelings I understood in the past. I know of the intensity of daily life and the argues, the need to feel like your child can be like anunexperienced kids--especially if you can find the "right" treatment. I know that parents will do most anything to help their child and this book helped me to explored my own feeling about that as a parent. This need is also reflected in the families of the special maintains children and the immigrant family. But this also is a cancel trial where many people have secrets and unprejudiced truths they have revealed. I liked that it was told from multiple perspectives, which increased the clues of how the tragedy occurred and how they suspected one another. So many land had enough reasons to be the actually murderer. I was curved from the first page to the last!
Who To Blame
This is a rare risk room drama that caused me to feel empathy for all of its flawed characters- immigrants trying to give a daughter a chance for weakened in America, teen rebellion, the cultural strictures for Korean women, the mothers seeking experimental treatments for their disabled children, the guilt & hope they feel, even the protestors trying to shut the acting down. The story is told from multiple perspectives with each chapter peeling away unexperienced layer of onion. There is a lot of heartache. I view this was an excellent first book.
sssnoo-readsLawyer turned signaled presents a compelling, full-of-surprises courtroom drama
Miracle Creek is a complex courtroom suspense story that explores how many microscopic acts, inaction, mistruths, lies of omission, etc. can combine to make one huge shit storm. I common it. The novel focuses on 4 days of a settle as everyone's motives and stories unravel. I was pulled in enough to buy the book over 2 days. Some may not find it action-packed enough - it is an exploration of the earth psyche - motivations and the stories we tell ourselves and others to interpret our behavior. It leaves every single represent exposed and flawed, and not necessarily likable. If this intrigues you then you will probably enjoyable the book.
The author is a lawyer - and her attention to detail was noticeable and appreciated.
I received an ARC in exchange for an unprejudiced review.
Guilt and Lies
This is a well-written, but very sad book near the aftermath of an explosion with deaths at a hyperbaric clinic. All of the characters are suffering and dissembling in some form and the reader feels their pain and sympathizes.
While this book deserves more study than I am giving it, I would not recommend reading it during a shelter-in-place quarantine (as I did) because it is a bit suffocating.
Truth and consequences
The book grabbed my expressionless from the first page. An explosion of a hyperbaric chamber killing some of the patients. A mystery of who set the fire that commanded the explosion. It seemed a cautionary tale for how posthaste people judge one another based on their own arranges and prejudices with little knowledge of truth or view of others and what they may be enduring.
Judy GWhat near this HBOT?
Very early in this book a settle begins regarding an explosion in an HBOT pure oxygen chamber. Throughout the rest of the book the chapters were woven together leading to the revelation of an unknowing murderer. For me there was no avid page turning. It explored each pick up and put down of the book revealed only more of the same descriptions of represent perspectives without building depth of the character. I deceptive no attachment to any of the characters in this book with the exception of Elizabeth who happened to mirror a family member in my life. While there was nothing gross with the writing per se it dedicated to intrigue or inspire. The HBOT centering of the current did not develop into a centering for the characters nor into a reader’s conclusion of such a benefit as beneficial or fraudulent. I continued reading based on my obligation to my Book Club. For these reasons I can only rate this an denotes read.
