About this deal

Karen Swan highlights how close a journalist gets with the family they are working with as Clover spent many months living with Cory, his wife and their three sons. Kloverės sukurtas dokumentinis filmas apie sugriautą banglentininko gyvenimą sužavėjo visus. Mergina ramiai sau gyvena toliau, kuria naujus projektus, kol jos kelyje neišdyksta Kitas. Jis - banglentininkas, snieglentininkas ir tas, kurį visi kaltina dėl įvykusios nelaimės, papasakotos ir filme. Pats Kitas niekada nekalbėjo apie tai, kas nutiko iš tiesų, todėl Kloverė pasiryžta tai išsiaiškinti. Ji vyksta į Austrijos Alpes, kur bandydama prisibelsti į kietą Kito širdį praleis gražiausias metų šventes. Tik... Viskas nėra taip paprasta ir lengva. This was an epic story of redemption, grief, battling one's demons and doing the right thing—and the wrong thing.

I did really enjoy getting to know these characters. There's a big predictability factor and you'll have met many of these characters before in various forms, but I did really enjoy the way they shaped this story. Clover and her team spent 2 years living with the Allbright family, leaning on each other and documenting the agonizing aftermath of the accident that left Cory, ex-pro surfer and father, irreconcilably changed. But even referring to the event as an "accident" neglects a crucial part of Cory's story, and Clover's film...because his now life-long battle with debilitating pain and depression resulted from one man's unforgivable actions—one irredeemable golden boy.The sport side of things did not interest me a bit, so the fact that I held on to it all through this story and was still entertained speaks volumes about the character relationships. The dynamics were really interesting and, even though I could pretty much guess where everyone was going to end up, I enjoyed the way it played out.

Man erfährt ja schon von Clover relativ wenig, da sie uns als Leser nie so richtig in ihren Kopf lässt, man hat ständig das Gefühl, sie wäre nicht ganz greifbar. Außerdem mochte ich auch nicht ihre zu vorschnelle Verurteilung... die Antwort auf ihre Frage hatte ich schon von Anfang an und lag damit sogar richtig, aber auch wenn nicht, gibt es immer einen Grund, warum jemand etwas tut und auch wenn es nur aus sportlichem Kalkül heraus passiert wäre, bedeutet das nicht zwangsläufig, dass jemand von Grund auf ein böser Mensch ist. Hier fand ich ihre Ansicht und die vieler anderer sehr engstirnig, geradzu gemein naiv und sie verharrte mir viel zu lange in ihrem Schwarz-Weiß-Denken...

Norint viską pradėti nuo pradžių, nebūtinai reikia laimingos pabaigos; bet pradžia vis tiek bus, kaip kad nusileidus mėnuliui pateka saulė. Visada yra vilties. Turime žvelgti pirmyn, visada tik pirmyn. Privalome kovoti dėl kitos galimybės."
