If life were fair, Jam Gallahue would still be at home in New Jersey with her sweet British boyfriend, Reeve Maxfield. She'd be watching old comedy sketches with him. She'd be kissing him in the library stacks. She certainly wouldn't be at The Wooden Barn, a therapeutic boarding school in rural Vermont, living with a weird roommate, and signed up for an exclusive, mysterious class called Special Topics in English.But life isn't fair, and Reeve Maxfield is dead. Until a journal-writing assignment leads Jam to Belzhar, where the untainted past is restored, and Jam can feel Reeve's arms around her once again. But there are hidden truths on Jam's path to reclaim her loss.

Belzhar Bewertungen

It's been a long while since a book has pulled me in this way; I read it leaning forward, figuratively on the edge of my seat with my heart in my throat. I had no idea what was coming, but I was hungry to get there. So subtly plotted and painfully beautiful, I couldn't put it down. Meg Wolitzer is a an amazing storyteller. -Jacqueline Woodson, winner of the National Book Award for Brown Girl Dreaming

Wolitzer has imagined a world for young readers that celebrates the sacred, transcendent power of reading and writing. -The New York Times Book Review

Basically everything Meg Wolitzer writes is worth reading, usually over and over again, and her YA debut...is no exception. -TeenVogue.com

Demonstrates the power of words to heal. -The Washington Post

A riveting exploration of the human psyche...Wolitzer's teenage characters are invigorated, flawed, emotionally real and intensely interesting. Even as readers fold back the layers of the story and discover unexpected truths and tragedies, the plot maintains an integrity that has come to be hallmark of Wolitzer's novels. -Kirkus Reviews, starred review

A smart and engrossing tale of trauma, trust, and triumph. -School Library Journal, starred review

A strong, original book. -Publishers Weekly, starred review

Wolitzer handles Jam's increasingly complex psychological state with delicate, nonjudgmental nuance ...teen readers, especially rabid Plath fans, will relish Wolitzer's deeply respectful treatment of Jam's realistic emotional struggle. -Booklist

Enlivened by humor, memorable characters and a page-turning mystery only revealed in its final pages, Belzhar explores the role of trauma in young lives. -BookPage

But Jam herself is a fantastic portrait of a girl somehow younger than her own age, unable to cope with the hardships of being a teenager, and the final twist of the novel reveals an unexpected aspect to her character that makes her all the more heartbreaking. -The Daily Beast

Über Meg Wolitzer

Meg Wolitzer's novels include The Interestings; The Uncoupling; The Ten-Year Nap; The Position; and The Wife. Wolitzer's short fiction has appeared in The Best American Short Stories and The Pushcart Prize. About The Interestings, the New York Times Book Review said, Remarkable . . . [The Interestings's] inclusive vision and generous sweep place it among the ranks of books like Jonathan Franzen's Freedom and Jeffrey Eugenides' The Marriage Plot. The Interestings is warm, all-American, and acutely perceptive about the feelings and motivations of its characters, male and female, young and old, gay and straight; but it's also stealthily, unassumingly, and undeniably a novel of ideas. . . . With this book [Wolitzer] has surpassed herself.
