Um conto de fadas para adultos, uma mistura de A invenção de Hugo Cabret e O fabuloso destino de Amélie Poulain

Martha está perdida.

Ela esteve perdida desde que era apenas um bebê, abandonada em uma mala dentro do trem que ligava Paris a Liverpool; e, desde então, Martha aguarda na Estação Lime Street, na loja de achados e perdidos, que alguém venha buscá-la.

Isso faz dezesseis anos, mas ela continua confiante. Obrigada por sua nova 'Mãe' – a dona da loja de achados e perdidos que a adotou porque não tinha outra opção – a trabalhar e atender os passageiros da estação, Martha se envolve em alguns mistérios: uma mala que talvez tenha pertencido aos Beatles, túneis secretos embaixo da estação, um soldado romano que aparece todos os dias às 17h37 em pleno ano de 1976; sem mencionar a maldição que envolve a própria Martha: ela nunca pode deixar a estação de trem de Liverpool, do contrário o lugar desabará.

O maior de todos os mistérios tem um prazo urgente para ser solucionado: Martha anda recebendo cartas anônimas de alguém que sabe quem ela realmente é, e ela precisa de uma resposta para não se perder novamente.

Reviewed in Brazil on January 26, 2020

Narrado em primeira pessoa por uma moça de 17 anos que foi abandonada, aos três meses de vida, na porta de um “achados e perdidos” de uma estação de trem. Lá foi acolhida pela mulher que cuidava do local. Como esta era indiscutivelmente desequilibrada, a protagonista cresceu em meio a histórias mal contadas, terror religioso e castigos físicos, o que a tornou uma pessoa com crenças e atitudes estranhas.
Este livro foi de difícil leitura: a história não me prendeu, assim como a forma da narrativa escrita em diálogos extremamente coloquiais. Numa mesma frase há frequente alternância de conjugação verbal, misturando verbos no passado e no presente, o que incomodou bastante. Afinal, espera-se que livros usem Português castiço (seriam falhas do tradutor?) Salva-se o final, com uma surpresa bem vinda.

5.0 out of 5 stars Conto de fadas esplêndido

Nunca pensei que neste conto de fadas moderno eu ficaria tão maravilhada! Longe de ser um "era uma vez " infantil, é carregado de suspense, reviravoltas e momentos que você sente dentro da própria história. Recomendo a leitura para todas as idades!
