5.0 out of 5 stars A Powerful Tale of Mad Love and Insanity!, August 4, 2002
By Ericcio (Vancouver) - See all my reviews
"Prodigy" is a wonderful novella. It is a story about a loving mother,Lara, who tirelessly devotes her physical and emotional energy to her sweet, angelic daughter, Maya, and who, after "abandoned" by her husband and the sudden death of her own mother, eventually collapses in total exhaustion. Huston creates very realistic (and wonderful) characters that come to life and talk to you whenever you open the book. And the setting is so french(the story takes place in Paris) and real, that as you are reading the story, you feel like you are actually watching the characters from a street in Paris. Although the format of the prose is more like dialogues, or a screenplay, Huston's writing is still wonderful to read. I like this book because it is beautifully written, fresh, and powerful. Huston tells a story that shows that when a human being pushes himself/herself (or is pushed) beyond his/her own limit (physically, emotionally, or mentally), there could be very serious consequences. And it is always the miserable pain that Lara suffers, and the sweet innocence that Maya possesses, that always bring me back to the many images of the book.
"Prodigy" is highly recommended! And I promise you that the story's simple beauty will leave you enthralled!!!
