Description

Wild: From the multimillion copy bestselling author of The Women, The Nightingale and The Four Winds : Kristin Hannah: desertcart.in: Fashion Review: Strains credulity; exhibits cultural bias - The "wild girl" learnt language much too quickly! Adapted to Western civilizational norms at an incredible pace , for example, choosing a pretty pink dress; used the word "please" correctly right at start, among other things. And then, the author's assumption that using cutlery to eat with rather than fingers is civilizationally on par with acquisition of language is shocking, when several highly evolved cultures have no such practice. Review: Intriguing yet has its own flaws - Title - Wild Author - Kristin Hannah Genre - Contemporary Fiction I was first introduced to Kristin Hannah years ago when I kept reading rave reviews of The Nightingale but for some reason, it kept delaying in my case. Recently, when a friend recommended me the book again, my interest piqued and I was itching to pick up a book by her. I finally got my hands on Wild by Kristin Hannah, a story of a Feral Child and here is what I think about it. Dr. Julia Cates, a renowned child psychiatrist has been living a pretty rough life after one of her patients went wild and attacked. When she was called back to her hometown by her sister for a case of a Feral Child (a child who has grown up in wild), Julia is trying to face back her fears and also trying to bring Alice back to settle down in this world. The book which was published in US as Magic Hour felt so simple yet had a lot of complications throughout the novel. Though the main plot of the relationship of Julia with Alice and Julia with her sister took centre stage and was explored pretty well, the book did lack in other subplots which turned out a bit annoying when you end the book. The concept was pretty intriguing since this one made me research more on the Feral Child and made me ponder about the mysteries of nature. The writing is beautiful and I can relate to why people adore her novels and this being one of her early works. This book makes up a pretty good read if one tends to ignore the oversimplification of the climax or the way the novel ended.
