HOW TO BE BRAVE

Book ID/图书代码： 06684517C00023

English Summary/英文概要： All the stories died that morning … until we found the one we’d always known. When nine-year-old Rose is diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, Natalie must use her imagination to keep her daughter alive. They begin dreaming about and seeing a man in a brown suit who feels hauntingly familiar, a man who has something for them. Through the magic of storytelling, Natalie and Rose are transported to the Atlantic Ocean in 1943, to a lifeboat, where an ancestor survived for fifty days before being rescued. Poignant, beautifully written and tenderly told, How To Be Brave weaves together the contemporary story of a mother battling to save her child’s life with an extraordinary true account of bravery and a fight for survival in the Second World War. A simply unforgettable debut that celebrates the power of words, the redemptive energy of a mother’s love … and what it really means to be brave.

“部分自传，小说，如何勇敢基本上违反常规分类。这两个叙述是由时间，性别，情况和其他一百件事情分开的，但是第一次作者，路易斯·贝奇毫不费力地吸引了他们。尽管逻辑决定了一个故事的结局，它是非常容易被绘制，并成为投入大量投资的所有一切 - 杰克.克罗克丝尔

’Beautifully written, intelligent and moving, this book will stay with you long after you reach the end’ - Ruth Dugdall

’Two family stories of loss and redemption intertwine in a painfully beautiful narrative. This book grabbed me right around my heart and didn’t let go’ -Cassandra Parkin

’An amazing story of hope and survival... a love letter to the power of books and stories’ - Nick Quantrill

’Louise Beech is a natural born storyteller and this is a wonderful story’ - Russ Litten’This book tells the story of Rose and her mother, Natalie, who are trying to cope with Rose’s newly diagnosed, and very serious, illness. With the help of a diary she discovers, Natalie begins to tell Rose the tale of a group of men battling to survive on the Atlantic ocean in a lifeboat with limited food and water. This is a moving and richly drawn novel, and fine storytelling in its purest form. With lilting, rhythmic prose that never falters, How to be Brave held me from its opening lines. I found myself as eager to return to the story of Colin, Ken and their companions on their boat in 1943 as Rose herself was! Louise Beech masterfully envelops us in two worlds separated by time yet linked by fierce family devotion, bravery and the triumph of human spirit. Wonderful’ - Amanda Jennings

’Part autobiography, part fiction, How To Be Brave essentially defies conventional categorisation. The two narratives are split by time, gender, circumstance and a hundred other things, but first time author, Louise Beech blends them effortlessly. Despite logic dictating the outcome of one story strand, it is delightfully easy to be drawn in and become heavily invested in everything going on’ - Jack Croxall
