Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú (Mary Alice Monroe)

Sumár recenzie
Kniha Mary Alice Monroe Tam, kde sa rieky spájajú je prvá časť dvojdielnej ságy, ktorú autorka situovala do Mayfieldu a cez spomienky Elizy rozpráva rodinný príbeh naprieč desaťročiami. Príroda a atmosféra Mayfieldu sú opísané veľmi plasticky, takže sa prostredie stáva takmer ďalšou postavou. Príbeh zároveň otvára ťažké témy ako rasová segregácia v období Jim Crow, vojna a patriarchálne nespravodlivosti, no nesie aj posolstvo odvahy a nádeje. Recenzentka ju považuje za jednu z najlepších kníh, ktoré v poslednom čase čítala, bola ňou nadšená a dôrazne ju odporúča čitateľom spoločenskej beletrie.
