  • "Der plötzliche Tod ihres 2. Mannes verändert nicht nur Evas Leben, sondern auch das ihres kleinen Sohnes und der 2. Tochter aus der 1. Ehe. Daisy trifft der Verlust ihres Stiefvaters am meisten. Besprechung Eben noch sind sie eine glückliche Familie: Eva mit dem kleinen Theo und ihrem 2. Mann John. Da rast ein Autofahrer heran, verliert die Gewalt über seinen Wagen, trifft John, dieser fliegt über den Gehweg, stößt gegen eine Straßenlaterne und stirbt sofort. Dieses traumatische Erlebnis verändert Eva, belastet aber auch das Leben ihrer Töchter Emily und Daisy aus der 1. Ehe mit Mark. Während Emily sich ins Lernen stürzt, auf ein College wechselt, verhält sich Daisy scheinbar gelassen. Dabei leidet sie am meisten unter Johns Tod, denn er schenkte ihr die Aufmerksamkeit, die sie weder von ihrer Mutter oder in der Schule erhielt. Daher kann sie auch mit dem Interesse, das der ältere Mann der Freundin ihrer Mutter ihr zeigt, zunächst nichts anfangen bis er ihr sexuelles Verlangen weckt und sie verführt. Miller (zuletzt "Die Stadt in den Fluten": BA 12/02) erzählt auf sensible, unaufdringliche Weise vom langsamen, schmerzhaften Erwachsenwerden, von der immer wiederkehrenden Trauer um einen geliebten Menschen und von der wieder entdeckten Verantwortung eines Vaters seinen Kindern gegenüber. Empfehlenswert."

  • ""One minute John is the cornerstone of Eva's world, rock to his two teenage stepdaughters and his own son Theo, the next he is tossed through the air in a traffic accident, and snapped like a twig. His sudden death changes everything. Eva struggles with the terror and desolation of loneliness, and finds herself drawn back to her untrustworthy ex-husband; Emily, the eldest daughter, grapples with her new-found independence and responsibility. Little Theo can only begin to fathom the permanence of his father's death. But for Daisy, John's absence opens up a whole world of confusion just at the onset of adolescence and blossoming sexuality. And in steps a man only too willing to take advantage."
