À propos de cet audio
THE INSTANT #1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE 2023 PARAGRAPHE HUGH MACLENNAN PRIZE FOR FICTION
A GLOBE AND MAIL BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
ONE OF CBC’S BEST CANADIAN FICTION BOOKS OF 2022
A beloved writer returns with a tale of science, magic, love and identity.
In the late nineteenth century, Charlotte Bell is growing up at Fayne, a vast and lonely estate straddling the border between England and Scotland, where she has been kept from the world by her adoring father, Lord Henry Bell, owing to a mysterious condition. Charlotte, strong and insatiably curious, revels in the moorlands, and has learned the treacherous and healing ways of the bog from the old hired man, Byrn, whose own origins are shrouded in mystery. Her idyllic existence is shadowed by the magnificent portrait on the landing in Fayne House which depicts her mother, a beautiful Irish-American heiress, holding Charlotte’s brother, Charles Bell. Charlotte has grown up with the knowledge that her mother died in giving birth to her, and that her older brother, Charles, the long-awaited heir, died soon afterwards at the age of two. When Charlotte’s appetite for learning threatens to exceed the bounds of the estate, her father breaks with tradition and hires a tutor to teach his daughter “as you would my son, had I one.” But when Charlotte and her tutor’s explorations of the bog turn up an unexpected artefact, her father announces he has arranged for her to be cured of her condition, and her world is upended. Charlotte’s passion for knowledge and adventure will take her to the bottom of family secrets and to the heart of her own identity.
Ce que les critiques en disent
“A reinvention for the bestselling author. . . . MacDonald is wildly successful in creating a rich Victorian world as seen through a young person’s eyes. . . . With its tenderness and twists that recall Charles Dicken’s Bleak House and the upstairs-downstairs dynamics of shows like Downton Abbey, MacDonald’s fourth novel is a paean to the act of storytelling and a triumph that challenges the constructs of gender.” —Quill and Quire (starred review)
"Engrossing, gorgeous, funny. . . . Fayne illuminates the experience of being queer before such things were discussed openly." —The Globe and Mail
“Richly and minutely detailed . . . Fayne is . . . a subtle meditation on gender identity and environmental degradation that feels precisely attuned to the present. MacDonald’s work has always featured outcasts, and Fayne is her celebration of every marvelous living thing that flourishes on the margins, refusing to be categorized or controlled.” —The Walrus

So rich in detail!
Where to begin?! I had not read one thing about the book prior to listening so everything that unfolded was so surprising!
A few reviewers mentioned it’s length, at over 960 pages and 40 hours listening, it IS long but I did not once drift, I did not once think, ‘Oh this is too much.’
If anything, I craved the details Anne-Marie MacDonald laid out before us.
It’s been 12 years since her last book and the wait was more than worth it.
High praise for Canadian author, playwright, actor, AMM.
Can’t wait for her next tale.

The twist!
Having read The Way The Crow Flies and Fall on Your Knees, I was already pretty certain I'd like this novel as well. The slow yet captivating first act with subtle hints into the later reveal were well placed. The overall plot (and plot twist) was great and seemed like something plausible of the 1800s. As the whole story sounded credible, it then made it very difficult to stay with it near the end since it goes off on a tangent of incredulity just to finish the novel. MacDonald's narration was amazing. All the voices, accents, delivery and different intonations were all perfect.
