Young Pip Tyler doesn't know who she is. She knows that her real name is Purity, that she's saddled with $130,000 in student debt, that she's squatting with anarchists in Oakland, and that her relationship with her mother - her only family - is hazardous. But she doesn't have a clue who her father is, why her mother chose to live as a recluse with an invented name, or how she'll ever have a normal life.

Funny, deep, sad, annoying, contemporary,historical, wonderfully moving story
Revisado: 09-23-15
This book made me laugh and cry, feel disgusted and frustrated, made me think, consider, dream and wonder.
A cast of characters that fit so well into our global community, reminding us of the struggle we all have to be human, to do the right thing even when our inner selves plead for something other.
Like Jonathan Franzens other books, i was compelled to plough through 'Purity' while being totally absorbed in the characters and story lines.

If you liked the phenomenon of Lisbeth Salander in the first 3 of this series, I doubt you'll be disappointed in her galant and inspiring escapades in ' the spiders web'.
Loved every minute of it.....

From the Booker Prize-winning author of The Remains of the Day and When We Were Orphans comes an unforgettable edge-of-your-seat mystery that is at once heartbreakingly tender and morally courageous about what it means to be human.

I didn't really have any idea what the storyline would be but decided to listen because of good reviews.
All I can say now is I downloaded this beautifully written novel 16 hours ago and I'm finished it. I just couldn't stop listening.

This is a twightlight type story with lots of unrealistic love interest and very basic good versus evil stuff. My daughter would have loved it when she was 13.

Why we think it’s a great listen: Seabiscuit was a runaway success, and Hillenbrand’s done it again with another true-life account about beating unbelievable odds. On a May afternoon in 1943, an Army Air Forces bomber crashed into the Pacific Ocean and disappeared, leaving only a spray of debris and a slick of oil, gasoline, and blood. Then, on the ocean surface, a face appeared....

I've read it before though, seen it on TV, talked about it with friends and family.
At times (many of them) I wondered if I'd read this book before.
please....no disrespect to those who endured stories like these.

I was worried about the narration initially, the broad American South accent was difficult on my Australian ear, but soon, George Newbern lulled me to the place called 'Zephyr' and I was travelling with Cory on his adventures into adulthood

Revisado: 05-05-15
If real life could reflect the ideal of justice and no one had to resort to violence in order to feel compensated for wrong doings?
Not that "the Bone Tree" does either!
However this book kept me listening and engaged, wanting to know.
