Narration During Books Serena

The year is 1929, and newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton travel from Boston to the North Carolina mountains where they plan to create a timber empire. Although George has already lived in the camp long enough to father an illegitimate child, Serena is new to the mountains—but she soon shows herself to be the equal of any man, overseeing crews, hunting rattle-snakes, even saving her husband's life in the wilderness. Together this lord and lady of the woodlands ruthlessly kill or vanquish all who fall out of favor. Yet when Serena learns that she will never bear a child, she sets out to murder the son George fathered without her. Mother and child begin a struggle for their lives, and when Serena suspects George is protecting his illegitimate family, the Pembertons' intense, passionate marriage starts to unravel as the story moves toward its shocking reckoning. Rash's masterful balance of violence and beauty yields a riveting novel that, at its core, tells of love both honored and betrayed.

Crit Of Books Serena

What future? Where is it? Serena said sarcastically, looking around the room. All I see is the here and now. img1 Here and now is Depressing-Era North Carolina, the place where newly weds George and Serena Pemberton have come to make their fortune out of timber. The first chapter is an eye opener for the harsh Frontier conditions and for the steely strength of will in the eyes of beautiful Serena. It also serves as a grim song of Cassandra for things to come: by the end of the opening scene, a

I am constantly seeking out books with a Macbeth type theme. Unfortunately that is reeeeeaaaallly hard- There are not that many. :(I also love unlikable characters in fiction- and I adore evil soulmates...because eventually evil people "in love" will turn on one another...and THAT is when things get interesting. One will always be more evil than the other...1929- Waynesville, North Carolina-Newlyweds George and Serena Pemberton travel from Boston to the North Carolina mountains- where George

i am alarmed that i only wrote a four-line review of this amazing book. now that i am starting to read the cove, i figure now is as good a time as any to remind this website just how good ron rash is, and how so far, serena is the best of them. (i am only on page 15 of the cove, so this could change)whenever i try to hand-sell this at work, i will usually just say: "it is like macbeth in a logging community. with a greek chorus." which as a customer, i would hear and think, "i must read this

Serena?Serena, devilish Serena!...Gosh!... She gave me the creeps!Imagine greed, ambition, hunger for power... with nothing there to act as a counterbalance.No kindness, no goodness, no empathy, no compassion, no nothing...That defines Serena. Shes not a villain, oh no! Compared to her, villains are sweet, candied creatures. Shes not human. Shes an anti-heroine an icon of evil 👿 Well... anti-heroes are as good as heroesHeroes remind us how great humans can be, whilst anti-heroes remind us how

Did you ever read the right book at the wrong time? Such is my Serena.On the heels of my previous read, a forever favourite,The Secret History, still occupying way too many rooms in my head, this one felt barren, almost raw, like no one threw a rug on the floor. It all happens hard and fast. In 1929 newlyweds George and Serena travel from Boston to the North Carolina Mountains where they plan to harvest timber and create an empire. The terrain is relentless, the characters rough and tumble and

I read the first 90 pages of this book and couldn't continue. The writing is excellent, quite impressive, really. But when each chapter brought a new form of cruelty to animals, I had to stop. Bashing in a raccoon's skull with an axe...Starving a captive eagle to bend it to your will...Baiting a field with corn and apples so you can shoot twelve deer and a bear for sport, then just leave them all piled in the middle of the field to rot after you've killed them...Are you sickened yet? I found

Not much to say about that one from me. Well-paced, set in North Caroline during the great depression story depictures title charackter who, alongside with her husband, is to create a timber empire. I thought the novel was very well written, with great sense of time and place but unfortunately the main protagonist left me unimpressed. Comparisons to Steinbecks or McCarthys epic novels feel a bit exaggerated to me. Serena lacks that truth and depth and dark essence flowing through novels of
