"Доброе утро, полночь" Джин Рис - незабываемый портрет женщины, мужественно преодолевающей одиночество и отчаяние в своем стремлении к самоопределению • В Париже 1930-х годов, где один дешевый гостиничный номер очень похож на другой, молодая женщина учит себя безразличию. Она избежала личной трагедии и приехала во Францию, чтобы набраться мужества и стремиться к независимости. Она говорит себе, что ничего не следует ожидать, особенно доброты, и меньше всего от мужчин. Завтра, решает она, она перекрасит свои волосы в блондинку. Джин Рис была талантом своего времени, обладавшим впечатляющей способностью выражать страдания молодых женщин. В этом романе Рис создала ярко выраженный современный портрет Софии Янсен, чье освобождение оказалось гораздо более болезненным и сложным, чем она могла ожидать, но чье признание пронизано торжеством и восторгом подробнее

It is a true ‘back to basics’ approach to parenting • Author Jean Liedloff spent two and-a-half years in the jungle deep in the heart of South America living with indigenous tribes and was astounded at how differently children are raised outside the Western world.
