Out of the Shadows
あらすじ・解説
After a devastating loss, Jamie Shire accepts a mysterious live-in job with an equally mysterious employer in the wine country of northern California. At Fallow Springs Estate, Jamie struggles to understand what her employer, Akasha Duvall, wants of her and who Akasha really is. As secret after secret unravels within Fallow Springs, Jamie discovers healing by addressing the suffering of others. Beneath an African sky, among the Darfuri people, whose land and loved ones have been violently ripped away, Jamie finds the strength to reclaim her life and the courage to step forward into her greatest passion. Suspenseful, heartbreaking, inspiring, and deeply moving, Out of the Shadows both surprises and satisfies, vividly immersing the listener in wrenching, yet uplifting, human experiences that take place in worlds apart.
批評家のレビュー
"Tragedy turns into triumph in Carlson's debut novel about a young woman who regains her self-confidence after multiple losses and years of dejection. Before readers meet 28-year-old Jamie Shire, she has already hit rock bottom.... After a chance encounter with a wealthy woman at a coffee shop, Jamie accepts a live-in job researching philanthropic causes at Fallow Springs Estate. ...she's able to gain confidence as she learns to stop fearing rejection and start pursuing her dreams. Throughout the novel, the author skillfully creates mood.... Alongside the main character's emotional struggle is the struggle faced by Darfur refugees, although this plotline doesn't advance too far; yet details from Jamie's trip to the refugee camp in Chad the types of beer served at the aid workers bar or a depiction of a young refugee sitting blank-faced and tied to a pole because he might run away effectively transport readers to faraway places. Jamie's story will interest readers, but, with a weak ending, the story leaves many unanswered questions. ...Carlson's captivating novel proves to be more about the journey than the destination."
