Iqiniso lokugcina lelicala ukuthi ukuxhuma, le ndaba ka UJoel dicker izingwegwe. Futhi ukuthi kwesinye isikhathi, ngenkathi ufunda inoveli ebanzi kangaka, uyazibuza ukuthi ngabe uyalwazi yini ucwaningo ngecala elidlule le- ukubulawa kukaNola Kellergan inganikela kakhulu kangangokuthi awukwazi ukuyeka ukuyifunda ubusuku nobusuku.
Umntwana oneminyaka eyishumi nanhlanu washona ehlobo lika-1975, kwakuyintombazane emnandi eyayithandana nombhali owayesethathe umhlalaphansi efuna ugqozi ayenquma ukubaleka nalo ekhaya. Ngemuva kwesikhashana eshiye ikhaya ngenhloso yokungabuyi, wabulawa ngaphansi kwezimo ezingajwayelekile. Leyo ntokazi yayinezimfihlo zayo ezincane (noma ezingezinhle kangako) ezifihliwe manje ezibonakala zibaluleke kakhulu ukuthola lokho okwenzeka ngo-Agasti 30, 1975, ntambama lapho uNola ashiya khona impilo eshaya e-Aurora, idolobha laseLa plot.
Ngemuva kweminyaka, uphenyo seluvele luvalwe ngamanga ngaphandle kwecala, imikhondo engenakuphikiswa ikhomba UHarry Quebert, isithandwa sakhe. Uthando olungavunyelwe lothando ababelane ngalo lwenziwa obala ngolaka lomunye nomunye, ukumangala, nokunengeka.
UHarry Quebert manje usengumlobi odumile ngomsebenzi wakhe omkhulu: "Umsuka wobubi", ayishicilela ngemuva kwaleyo mibono yothando engenakwenzeka, futhi usethathe umhlalaphansi endlini efanayo yase-Aurora ayehlala kuyo ngalelo hlobo elingajwayelekile lokuthatha umhlalaphansi elaba yihange elalizombamba adlule unomphela.
Ngenkathi uHarry eboshiwe kusalindwe isigwebo sokugcina ngecala lokubulala, umfundi wakhe UMarcus goldman, naye wabelana ngobungani obuyingqayizivele kodwa obukhulu phakathi kokuncoma bobabili kanye nokuxhumana okukhethekile njengabo bobabili ababhali, uhlala endlini ukuze abophe izinqumo futhi athole inkululeko kaHarry ongenacala, athembela kuye ngokukholwa okuphelele. Kuleso sizathu sokukhulula umngani wakhe uthola ugqozi lokuqala incwadi yakhe entsha ngemuva kokwenza ujamu omkhulu, uzilungiselela ukubeka lonke iqiniso ngecala likaHarry Quebert elimnyama elimhlophe.
Okwamanje, wena mfundi, usuvele ungaphakathi, unguMarcus osekhaleni lalolo phenyo oluhlanganisa ubufakazi besikhathi esedlule nobamanje, nalapho amachibi lapho bonke bagxuma balahleka khona ngesikhathi sabo aqala ukutholakala.
Imfihlo yenoveli yokukuxhuma ukuthi ngokuzumayo uyabona ukuthi inhliziyo yakho nayo ishaya phakathi kwe izakhamizi zase-Aurora, ngokukhathazeka okufana nokwabanye abantu okuxakile ukuthi kwenzakalani. Uma ungeza kulokho ukubuya kwemfihlakalo okuyimfihlakalo kusukela namhlanje kuze kube yilelo hlobo lapho konke kuguquke khona, kanye nokusonteka kaningi kophenyo, iqiniso lokuthi le ndaba ikuwe onqenqemeni linengqondo ngokuphelele.
Njengokungathi lokho bekunganele, ngaphansi kophenyo lwecala, ngemuva kokulingiswa okuphoqelelwe ukuthi uhlupheka nemvelo kanye nabantu base-Aurora, bafafaza izahluko ezithile ezingajwayelekile kepha ezandulela, izinkumbulo ezabiwe phakathi kukaMarcus noHarry ngenkathi bobabili bengabafundi nothisha. Izahluko ezincane ezixhumanisa nalokho ubudlelwano obunamanzi obudala imibono ngokubhala, impilo, impumelelo, nomsebenzi ... futhi bamemezela imfihlo enkulu, eyeqa ukubulala, uthando lukaNola, impilo e-Aurora futhi iphenduke isiphetho sokugcina esikushiya ungawuvali umlomo.
Okuwukuphela "kodwa" maqondana nesakhiwo (ngihlala ngithanda ukubeka eyodwa, imvelo eyinhlekelele eyodwa) ngukuthi ukuphela, ekubeni namandla kwesinye isikhathi kubonakala ngathi kuyahlanjululwa, ukusonteka kuyanwetshwa futhi kuthathe isikhathi eside ngaphandle kwalokhu kuqhuma okungenza umsebenzi oyindilinga.
Okunye "kepha" okuvele kungaphandle kakhulu komsebenzi uqobo, kuya kusakhiwo: Kuthatha ubuso obuningi ukusebenzisa umfanekiso wekhava yomunye umuntu bese ucela ukuthethelelwa kumakhredithi ngokungamtholi umbhali. Kumshicileli omkhulu lokhu kuzwakala kungenangqondo.
