Synopsis

How deeply can you love when your heart is full of secrets? 
 
A sweeping, propulsive family story about a woman learning to love, from the bustle of New York’s fashion scene to a remote, windswept Swedish island, by the acclaimed author of The Red Address Book—“a love letter to the human heart” (Alyson Richman).

By age 50, Elin Boals has created for herself a perfect life: her wildly successful business as Manhattan’s preeminent fashion photographer is flourishing. Her handsome, patient husband is devoted to her; her teenaged daughter, Alice, has been accepted to the ballet academy of her dreams. But then Elin receives an innocuous looking envelope. Folded inside is a star-chart, with an address written by a familiar hand.

Shaken, Elin begins to have startling flashbacks, to a life very different from the childhood in a Paris bookstore that she has so lovingly recounted to Alice. In these images, a poverty-stricken little girl cares for her two ragged baby brothers, laughing with her family on the good days, sheltering them from her mother’s sadness and her father’s wrath on the bad days. Elin also remembers vivid walks with a young classmate, Fredrik, whose steadfast friendship and starlit confidences shaped her young life. As Elin becomes consumed by these memories, though, her New York life begins to crumble dramatically. Finally, her family’s troubling questions drive her to face, at last, the brutal secret from her past.

At once a heartwarming family story and a page-turning mystery, A Question Mark Is Half a Heart traces a surprising journey across continents to reconciliation, and toward finding a true sense of home.

Goodreads review by Anca on March 16, 2020

Un semn de întrebare este o jumătate de inimă este o carte care merge direct în sufletul cititorului. Asta a făcut și cu mine. Sofia Lundberg știe să se joace cu cuvintele, cu trăirile și cu umbrele trecutului. Ca și în cazul romanului „Caietul cu nume pierdute”, roman pe care încă îl port în suflet......more

Moram priznati da me ova knjiga nije dotakla kao prethodna ove autorice, Crveni adresar. Priča je zanimljiva, ima potencijala, ali je mi je nedostajalo ono nešto što je potrebno da bi mi roman bio odličan.......more

Am crezut ca va fi o lectura mai slaba decat cealalta carte a autoarei, Caietul cu nume pierdute. Dar m-am inselat. Si mi-a placut foarte mult. Se vede ca autoarea atinge o coardă foarte sensibila a sufletului uman si te face sa te gandesti la propria viata. Elin este o curajoasa si o eroina. Cel pu......more

Goodreads review by Cititor on April 08, 2021

3.5 ⭐ Cartea incepe foarte greoi, chiar enervant pe alocuri, acolo unde planul actiunii este in prezent. Abia dupa jumatatea cartii actiunea incepe sa prinda contur si poti intelege personajele, jocul intre prezent si trecut ramane insa inegal. Trecutul are substanta si stilul povestirii seamana cu......more
