Sobre este título

“Like Tim O’Brien’s Going After Cacciato, All That’s Left to Tell celebrates not just the power of storytelling but the deeply human need for it in even the most dire situations. Alternately gripping and dreamy, Daniel Lowe’s debut imagines what the stories we tell reveal about ourselves, and how they may save us.”
—Stewart O’Nan, author of West of Sunset


Every night, Marc Laurent, an American taken hostage in Pakistan, is bound and blindfolded. And every night, a woman he knows only as Josephine visits his cell. At first, her questions are mercenary: is there anyone back home who will pay the ransom? But when Marc can offer no name, she asks him a question about his daughter that is even more terrifying than his captivity. And so begins a strange yet increasingly comforting ritual, in which Josephine and Marc tell each other stories. As these stories build upon one another, a father and daughter start to find their way toward understanding each other again.

Resumo da Crítica

<p>“Intense and compelling, Daniel Lowe’s debut novel, <i>All That’s Left to Tell</i>, is filled with both profound emotional disconnect and insatiable longing.”<br><b>—<i>Bustle </i></b><br><br>“Luscious…Compelling. Lowe’s elaborate tapestry showcases humankind’s reliance on the power of stories to comfort, correct, and clarify both our hidden feelings and exposed fears. With its shifting points of view and emotional authenticity, Lowe’s masterfully crafted first novel will be a surefire hit with book discussion groups.”<br><b>—<i>Booklist </i>(starred)</b><br><br>“Captivating…Lowe’s prose is evocative, the plot gripping, and the attachment that reaches across the alienation between these characters reaches out to the reader as well. A story about storytelling, stirring and effective.”<br><b>—<i>Kirkus</i></b><br><br>“Not since Kevin Brockmeier’s <i>The Truth About Celia </i>has a novel made a more dramatic case for the importance of stories as a way to deal with life’s tragic events…The characters here remain real and memorable, a credit to Lowe’s storytelling skill.”<br><i><b>—Publisher’s Weekly</b></i><br><br>“Daniel Lowe's debut novel opens with a fierce, immediate narrative grip that continues to tighten until the book reaches a climax that resonates long after one has closed the cover of this haunted and haunting book.”<br><b>—Stuart Dybek, author of <i>Paper Lantern </i>and <i>Ecstatic Cahoots</i></b><br><br>“Like Tim O’Brien's <i>Going After Cacciato</i>, <i>All That's Left to Tell</i> celebrates not just the power of storytelling but the deeply human need for it in even the most dire situations. Alternately gripping and dreamy, Daniel Lowe’s debut imagines what the stories we tell reveal about ourselves, and how they may save us.”<br><b>—Stewart O’Nan, author of <i>West of Sunset</i><br></b><br>“Through carefully crafted story telling and an expert’s ear for dialogue, Daniel Lowe delivers an outstanding debut. The plot of <i>All That's Left to Tell</i> is satisfyingly ripped from recent headlines and takes the reader on a dizzying, dream-state of a ride as Lowe unspools the storyline to stunning effect.”<br><b>—Christopher Scotton, author of <i>The Secret Wisdom of the Earth</i><br></b><br>"An utterly engrossing novel about the universal need to tell stories in order to survive, to remember, and to be remembered." <br><b><i>—</i>Laila Lalami, author of Pulitzer Prize finalist <i>The Moor's Account</i></b></p>
