Labels Friday, February 21, 2014 A Thousand Splendid Suns Tuesday, January 21, 2014 Eleanor and Park There is so much color and interest in this book. Eleanor is a freckled redhead, Park is half Korean, Eleanor's girlfriends are two black girls and the loyal friends Eleanor needs, engagingly honest. No character seems stereotypical. No character seemed to be placed in this book gratuitously. Omaha is an unusual setting and the use of the school bus, repetitively, over time, as a place where Park and Eleanor meet and their love story develops, seemed a clever use of setting. I am always curious to see how an author deals with sexuality in a teen love story. Rowell strikes a perfect tone. She conveys page turning passion between Park and Eleanor, and there is lovemaking, but it falls short of intercourse between the two 16 year olds. The time, after all, is not right even if protection were available, which it was not. Park displays a sense of responsibility that comes from loving Eleanor and a desire to not complicate her life more than it already is. Would that all modern Romeos were as responsible.

Radnja knjige Eleanor and Park odvija se 1986. godine, a govori o dvoje 16-godišnjaka koji se zaljubljuju u školskom autobusu. Priču pričaju Eleanor i Park naizmjenično. Eleanor je bucmasta crvenokosa. Nova je u školi i od prvog dana se samo u školi susreće sa vrlo intenzivnim bullyingom. Nedavno se ponovno vratila u svoj dom, iz kojeg je pobjegla pred grubim, nasilnim očuhom te je provela neko vrijeme s obiteljskim prijateljima. Očuh, alkoholičar, i dalje život u kući ostatku obitelji čini paklom na zemlji. Obitelj živi na rubu egzistencije. Petero djece, uključujući i Eleanor, spava po krevetima i podu u jednom sobičku. Neki od njih još mokre u krevet kada imaju noćne more.
