Boekverslag: The Crocodile Bird
Eve (40), the mother from Liza, is an isolated woman. She says she had enough seen from the world. The truth is that she is raped by 3 man and doesn?t want to know about any human anymore. She lives in a gatehouse at the Shrove with her daughter.
Eve is a pretty woman. Always alert, attentive, watchfully and know what she wants. She had long brown hair, tiny body hazel-green eyes and a nose what is a little too small for her face.
To me she seems very strict. Do everything the way it must be in her eyes.
Liza (17) is Eve?s daughter. She doesn?t know her father. He is probably one of the man who raped Eve. Liza is a clone of Eve says Bruno, one of Eve?s boyfriends. She looks like Eve, act like Eve and think like Eve.
She grows up very isolated. She never went to school. Eve was once a teacher and teaches Liza at home.
They haven?t a telephone, television, radio and not even a bathroom in the house. Liza knows nothing about other children. Not even that they exist. All she knows is what her mother told her.
Sean (21) is for 2 years Liza?s boyfriend. Eve doesn?t know about their relation. He is the gardener at the Shrove. It was love at first sight.
She trusts only him and told him her live story. Sometimes you read what they do or he asks something so Liza makes the story clearer.
To me seems Sean a very arrogant, possessive person. He thinks: I?m the man I earn the money. Liza is the woman, she is stupid and have to clean the caravan were they live. He wants all the money, even that from Liza.
Liza?s livestory:
It started when she was 4. A man comes to there house miles away from town. He comes a few times back and once he tried to rape Eve. Eve called the dogs to kill the man. They attract him but didn?t kill hem so she did it herself and buried him in the garden. When Liza is older, her mother gets another boyfriend Bruno. He is an artist and 2 years younger then Eve. In the beginning of the relationship he likes the lifestyle but later he wants to live in the town. When he doesn?t get is right he say that he will tell that Liza doesn?t go to school.
One day he disappears and never come back. Later Liza finds his dead body also buried in the garden.
And it is the same story with Mr. Tobias, the owner of the gatehouse where they live. He wants to sell the place because he needs the money. Eve want to live at the Shrove because she loved the place and she killed him to.
All the men Eve killed, said Liza, were a threat for them. Eve had to kill them.
For the first killed man is Eve run in. She has to go in jail for a lifetime long.
