She wonderfully tells the story of 3 sisters who are separated due to unfortunate events and misgivings. The only qualm I had was that it would have been even more amazing had the story of Sam Walker ans Solange not stretched so long. But after all that, the story is just fantastic and does justice to its title - Kaleidoscope, where things change with the blink of an eye. Kaleidoscope is an ode to the fierce and complicated bond between sisters, to unexpected love, to the pleasures of travel and food and unclaimed afternoons. It traces the way loss can change the shape of a life, honoring the experience of profound grief while, miraculously, reminding us of the beauty to be found in surviving. Intricate, gorgeously written, deeply moving — I loved this book.” An introspective portrait of sisterhood rarely told and of a family weathering yet another storm…. Kaleidoscope is heartfelt, devastating, and just long enough to satisfy a reader who thirsts for modern, emotional family dramas.” Steel's writing in Kaleidoscope is undeniably strong, showcasing her ability to create suspense and maintain a sense of intrigue throughout the novel. Her skillful storytelling keeps readers engaged, as they become invested in the characters' lives and yearn for resolution. The book's television adaptation, starring the talented Jaclyn Smith, further solidifies its appeal, bringing the story to life on screen. Telling a beautiful and heartbreaking story through fragments of the sisters’ lives, Wong shows how they’ve been shaped by the many experiences they’ve lived through, and how different perspectives can change the way we understand the truth.”
It’s the writing that brings this story to life. Its depth and lyrical prose delights the reader with beautiful recreations of far off places, crowd streets, bustle, hustle, and best of all the food that comes with it. This book is delicious to its core. I received this book as an ARC from Netgalley, but I am going to buy it because this book deserves a place on my shelf and I can imagine myself reading this book over and over again. I’ve found that loneliness has a way of feeling significant, no matter how frivolously the hours are spent.” When tragedy strikes, Riley is left reeling. Her parents offer no comfort, and Riley is drowning in guilt. As her relationship with her parents' sours, Riley decides on a ‘healing’ journey. I did not sympathize/empathize/like any of the characters. I plodded along as I was never engaged. It only became interesting [to me] more than halfway through--Part Four, when the story moved out of New York City and to the travels of Riley and James. [The interesting parts were the different cultures, countries, and people they encountered.]
Did we miss something on diversity?
Pernikahan dan karir Sam yg melesat membuat suasana jadi cerah, untuk tahu-tahu dibuat "jatuh" dengan peristiwa tak terduga......Pembunuhan. Solange dibunuh Sam, di depan anak-anaknya............... When tragedy strikes the Brightons, combined with the economic collapse of the late 2000s, the family and the empire they’ve built threaten to collapse. Riley sets off on an international trip with a companion who raises eyebrows, and discovers herself—as well as some family secrets kept hidden.
Wong has seamlessly captured the entire Brighton family—how they grieve and how they love one another, what they want and what they need from each other. The result is a startlingly beautiful novel. Kaleidoscope will break your heart and then win it over, time and time again.”
