批評家のレビュー

" A Piece of the World is a graceful, moving and powerful demonstration of what can happen when a fearless literary imagination combines with an inexhaustible curiosity about the past and the human heart: a feat of time travel, a bravura improvisation on the theme of art history, a wonderful story that seems to have been waiting, all this time, for Christina Baker Kline to come along and tell it." (Michael Chabon)
"Christina Baker Kline writes about home and place with wisdom and tenderness, but most of all she writes about Christina Olson with compassion, empathy and resounding admiration. This is an inspiring, haunting, powerful novel." (Helen Sedgwick, author of The Comet Seekers)
"With remarkable precision and compassion, A Piece of the World transports us to a mid-century farmhouse on the coast of Maine. But just like the painting that inspired it, this novel is about so much more. It's about the terrors and injustices of childhood, the aches of adulthood, the regrets of middle age. It's a story about a woman trapped by family and duty and her own ailing body. It's a book about the façades we erect despite our desire to be seen.... Christina Baker Kline has accomplished something grand." (Nathan Hill, author of The Nix)
"Tender, tragic, A Piece of the World is a fascinating exploration of the life lived inside that house at the top of the hill." (Lily King)
"Painterly, sensuous, and sympathetic." ( Kirkus Reviews)
"Insightful, evocative prose brings Christina's singular perspective and indomitable spirit to life." ( Publishers Weekly)

あらすじ・解説

For decades Christina Olson's whole world has been a rocky, windswept point on the coast of Maine, the farmhouse her ancestors fled to from the Salem witch trials. A world she fears she will never leave.

As a girl, farm life asked more of Christina than it did her family, her wasting limbs turning every task into a challenge. But the very tenacity that strengthened her may dash her chances for a life beyond her chores and extinguish her hopes for love.

Years pass, and Christina's solitude is broken by the arrival of Andrew Wyeth, a young artist who is fixated on the isolated farmhouse. In Christina he will discover more than a kindred spirit; for him, she will become a muse like no other....

From the best-selling author of Orphan Train comes a luminous portrait of a woman of grit and grace, as heartwarming as it is gripping. A story that allows the listener to marvel at Andrew Wyeth's iconic portrait from the other side.
