In the weeks and months that followed the publication of the novel, there was no single moment when Hawkins understood what it would become. “It’s a series of moments where you go ‘Oh; oh god,’” she says. “At the beginning it was like, ‘The book is No 1, oh, wow.’” Then, she says, word came through that, “Oh, Reese Witherspoon read it” – always a good sign that a novel is tipping into a phenomenon. The momentum built, US sales started to go through the roof, the movie went into production and “it was genuinely thrilling. And mostly very happy. But yes, there was also a point when you think ‘Oh, this is all too much. It feels too big for me, being not a particularly extroverted person.’ It becomes a little bit frightening.” Todo ello es puesto a prueba cuando Jake, su esposo, es encontrado muerto brutalmente en su residencia y a su mejor amigo, Ryan, junto a él con el arma homicida en sus manos. Un punto de inflexión donde comenzará a ver más allá de la “fantasía” en la que vivía. Con apenas 100 páginas resulta muy difícil ofrecer una historia en la que los personajes estén perfectamente desarrollados (o das profundidad a los personajes o haces avanzar la trama), por lo que estos puedan resultar un poco planos.

Blind Spot centers on a trio of friends: Edie, Jake, and Ryan. However, when Ryan stops by for his weekly run, someone has murdered Jake. Who did it? Being uprooted and having to make a new home somewhere else had a significant impact on me; I felt an outsider for many years, in a lot of ways I think I still do.

Sapeva chi eri?» The movie, which was released the following year, disappointed a lot of fans of the book. The London setting was replaced to odd effect with a train travelling through the upscale suburbs of New York. “Everyone was much richer and more gorgeous,” Hawkins remarks, and although she thought the film worked pretty well, she understood the complaints. “I get the whole thing about losing the gin and tonic in the can. And the much drabber houses.” The only vaguely British thing about the movie was Emily Blunt – “a very good egg. You can go to the pub with her and have a laugh.” I’d rather be ambitious and fail than just do the same thing over and over. And how do you even do that? Growing up where I did was a big part of why I wanted to become a journalist, so in a roundabout sort of way it probably did affect my writing style. It certainly affected my perspective, in all sorts of ways, but I suppose the thing I’m most conscious of is not so much where I grew up, but the feeling of relocating from one place to another at a formative time.

La protagonista además de sobrellevar su duelo, se ve inmersa en situaciones que descubre de su ahora difunto marido y su mejor amigo ¿Será ella el último eslabón en un plan de venganza que llegará desde el pasado? Epilogul acela, finalul, poate s-a încercat o diversificare că să nu se termine prea banal, hai că murim și gata. Dar a trebuit să îl citesc de vreo câteva ori să înțeleg ce naiba s-a putut întâmplă. Como tal el libro no es malo y me ha entretenido bastante, pero hay muchas cosas que no me han gustado para nada. Blind Spot is Paula Hawkins’ latest book. Paula Hawkins is the author of The Girl on The Train and A Slow Fire Burning (both of which I loved!).
