The Eternal Return of Clara Hart

Rate this book
Spence and Anthony have been friends for years, but it’s only when he witnesses a classmate die in what looks like a tragic accident at a house party that a flicker in the fabric of time helps Spence ‘see’ Anthony for the first time.

When Spence wakes up to the same day again and sees Clara, the girl who died, alive and well, it’s clear he’s been granted a second chance. And a third. And a fourth…

Caught in a loop, condemned to experience the same 24 hours over and over, Spence tries to prevent the terrible events of the party.

To break the spell he has to re-evaluate everything he previously took for granted and find the courage to call out his own and others complicity in events that marked the life and death of Clara Hart.

Consequences. We have to live with ourselves no matter what. Crack after crack at this day, but I'm always me at the end. That's the tragedy.

For the past few years, I've been gradually moving away from reading YA. I used to love it, but I've increasingly felt like the same old themes and characters are being recycled, and that very few offer something to engage me. I, myself, have been moving increasingly away from being a "young adult" so I put it down to that a bit, too.

However, it seems that a compelling, well-written and devastating YA novel can still drag me in and destroy me.

The Eternal Return of Clara Hart uses the Groundhog Day trope to look at themes of culpability, toxic "lad" culture (I guess that would be "bro" culture in the US?) and the possibility of growth and change. I think this latter theme is very important when talking about boys and lad culture, because too many people are happy to believe that certain negative traits are ingrained and immutable. Boys will be boys and all that. But boys, like girls, choose how to act. What to say and what not to say. What to see and what to look the other way from.

Spence finds himself in a loop. Each day he wakes in his car, Clara Hart hits his car, Anthony throws a party, Clara goes upstairs, Clara dies. Each day there are slight variations, but each day Clara ends up dead. What is Spence missing? How can he keep Clara alive?

It is fun and engaging to follow Spence as he pieces things together, ponders Nietzsche's eternal recurrence, tries his best to change things and fails. But it is also a very dark read. In addition to the poignant themes at the centre of the story, Spence is also struggling with grief after his mother's death. His relationship with his father is fraught, neither knowing quite how to connect with the other in their grief.

I know some won't like the end, but it felt exactly what it should be.

This book broke me. I am not really into science fiction but I love a good time travel or time loop story. This book is also classified as young adult, another genre that I am not usually interested in but 2022 is my year of reading outside the box and stepping into different genres that aren't my usual cup of tea. The Eternal Return of Clara Hart is exactly the reason why I choose to do this, finding excellent stories I wouldn't normally pick up, this book ticked all the boxes for me.

This engaging read was serious business right from the get-go and I do mean serious. We have drug use, sexual assault, the death of a parent, roofies being used, and the list goes on and on. I adored James "Spence" Spenser and the way his character grew throughout the book touched my heart. Spence had to face his own demons, see his friends for who they really are, and to stop being so complicit with the macho male behaviour throughout his high school...all while trying to save the girl he comes to care about. Don't let the young adult tag fool you, this one has many mature themes and was quite poignant and compelling, what a marvelous debut. All. The. Stars.

A miracle! Finishing 2023 with a YA novel I actually think is good. No wonder, it was published by a small indie in Ireland! Conceptually, not exactly original - it’s a Groundhog Day type of deal where a teenage boy relives the same day over again and over again. But the voice is fresh and memorable. Hope to read more from this author one day.

I'm a sucker for a time-loop story. Groundhog Day, Happy Death Day, Russian Doll, that one Disney Channel movie about Christmas Every Day? I eat them up! So a time-loop dealing with toxic masculinity, date rape and the nature of complicity seemed right up my street. And, having devoured this book in three sittings (one which involved staying up until 3.30am, and only tearing myself away when my eyes couldn't stay open any more) - I can honestly say The Eternal Return of Clara Hart is possibly my favourite twist on the convention yet: a gripping, heart-wrenching and deftly told story of one "nice guy's" slow realisation that words matter - and silence can be devastating.

In less capable hands, Spence's hellish deja vú struggle to save the life of his spiky classmate Clara (who dies, on repeat, after he catches her drunkenly 'hooking up' with his mouthy, laddish best friend Anthony) could have veered into white-knight territory or worse, down-played Clara's own trauma to focus on Spence's issues. Fortunately, Louise Finch's are exactly the RIGHT hands to tackle such a difficult & sensitive subject - giving us a beautifully crafted and compelling story packed with complex characters, raw emotion and a huge amount of heart. Futhermore, Spencer's journey to understanding his role in Clara's seemingly inevitable tragedy should force readers to examine their own complicity in the many forms of toxic behaviour society deems 'harmless' (until its not).

For all the issues dealt with so expertly here, however, The Eternal Return of Clara Hart really succeeds because of Finch's flair for character, dialogue and humour. The relationships are brilliantly drawn: budding crushes feel real, the friendships and banter feel genuine and organic, even the obnoxious Anthony has moments of being genuinely likable (to Spence anyway). It's not hard to see how Spence can feel genuinely lucky to have such "good" friends, or why it takes him so long to realise the truth of what happened/will happen that night - despite seeing it repeat, seemingly forever.

If I had my way - this fast-paced, thought-provoking and gorgeously crafted book would be required reading in every secondary school. A timely and important story, with a message about silence that needs to yelled from the rooftops.

I absolutely loved reading this book. The main character's voice is so strong and pulls you through the story. His journey is not an easy one and this book's courage is in the way it doesn't shy away from frightening or taboo topics, or the way it's male characters are forced to face up to their role in the toxic school culture (a microcosm for society at large) that results in Clara's many tragedies.

Cleverly interwoven throughout this much-needed social narrative are the theories and ideas of many philosophers, alongside the time loop element of the narrative. You'd think a character repeating the same day over and over again might not be the kind of thing that keeps you reading, but honestly every chapter I finished, I found myself thinking 'just one more' until it was 3 in the morning and the book was finished. It's a heartfelt, imaginative, brave and intelligent story, pushing right to the heart of an important societal issue. More than that, though, it's a human story. A painful but evocative coming-of-age that young men and women alike should read. I'll definitely be recommending it to everyone I know.

Pretty disappointed :/

I’m all for a good Groundhog Day setup, but when the entire resolution of the story is the main character realizing that sexual assault isn’t a haha so silly funny joke and that (believe it or not) women are PEOPLE??? Okay??? What do you want, a sticker?

„Death. Life. Repeat. - Die ewigen Leben der Clara Hart“ von Louise Finch ist mein erstes Buch von ihr. Es ist authentisch geschrieben und bezieht sich insbesondere auf den Umgang von Jugendlichen mit Partys, Drogen und Abhängigkeit. Ebenso wird toxisches Verhalten dargestellt.

Einige Szenen sind nicht leicht zu lesen. Ich habe mir oft gedacht, dass dieses Buch auch als Schullektüre genutzt werden kann. In anderen Momenten jedoch, dachte ich mir, dass einige Themen zu triggernd sein könnten. Zum Beispiel der Verlust eines Familienmitgliedes, Mobbing, Tod durch einen Unfall, usw. Jedoch ist es unglaublich wichtig, Kinder, Jugendliche und junge Erwachsene über diese Themen aufzuklären.

Das Cover trifft leider nicht meinen persönlichen Geschmack, was aber nicht meine Meinung zum Buchinhalt beeinflusst hat. Der Schreibstil von Louise Finch hat mir gut gefallen. Ich hatte jedoch manchmal das Gefühl, dass die Übersetzung komisch war und bestimmte Sätze keinen Sinn ergeben haben. Außerdem gibt es einige kleine Fehler, bei denen Buchstaben gefehlt haben oder Wörter ohne Leerzeichen aneinandergereiht wurden. Das hat mich manchmal im Lesefluss gestört.

Ich habe dieses Buch gelesen, da mich interessiert hat, wie Louise Finch diese sensiblen Themen in ihre Geschichte einfließen lässt. Ich finde, dies ist ihr sehr gut gelungen. Zu Beginn des Buches mochte ich die Charaktere überhaupt nicht, aber nach und nach wurden die verschiedenen Facetten der Charaktere aufgearbeitet. Besonders bei Spencer war eine Entwicklung zu erkennen. Außerdem ist es von der Autorin gewollt, die Figuren realitätsnah darzustellen. Am liebsten mochte ich Bee, da ich mich am ehesten mit ihr identifizieren konnte.

Die Handlung ist zu jedem Zeitpunkt spannend gewesen, obwohl sich der Tag wiederholt hat. Dabei änderten sich die täglichen Ereignisse, sodass die Handlung trotzdem voranschritt und Spencer aus seinen Fehlern und denen seiner Freunde lernen konnte. Ab der Mitte des Buches hätte ich mir mehr Plottwists gewünscht, welche es nur zum Teil gab. Das Ende war für mich nachvollziehbar, aber trotzdem habe ich es mir anders vorgestellt. Zu der Zeitschleife gibt es weiterhin einige offene Fragen, welche die Autorin vermutlich bewusst unbeantwortet gelassen hat.

Die Buchidee ist nicht neu unter den Jugendbüchern. Ich habe schon mehrere ähnliche Geschichten gelesen. Am ehesten ist es mit “Wenn du stirbst, zieht dein ganzes Leben an dir vorbei, sagen sie” von Lauren Oliver zu vergleichen. Natürlich ist dieses Buch trotzdem einzigartig, denn es wird von einem moralisch fragwürdigen Charakter erzählt, der seine eigenen Werte und Grenzen herausfinden und erarbeiten muss. Und all das unter dem Kommando seines toxischen besten Freundes.

Zusammenfassend hat mich das Buch sehr gut unterhalten. Es eignet sich als Schullektüre und ist perfekt zum Analysieren und Diskutieren. Es regt zum Nachdenken an und lässt sich wunderbar in Leseabschnitte einteilen. Über das Buch sollte intensiv gesprochen werden. Es verdient die Aufmerksamkeit von jedem Jugendlichen.

A story of redemption and courage disguised as a high school drama and time-loop romance.

What I loved most about this book is that it spent a long time figuring out its purpose and it felt like as a reader I was stumbling around in the dark and making realisations as to the reality of the story as well as the purpose of the story (and the time loop) at the same time as the protagonist.

It was commendable that the plot gave us a happily ever after that was so neat and then wrenched it away from us and delivered a fantastic last minute twist. It was also not too last minute to still adequately explore the topics introduced in the twist and that is very impressive.

So this wasn’t what I expected but it was, in fact, much better.

The time loop timeline in this plot was fantastic. And the overarching themes and meanings are so important and need to be discussed and exposed in literature more. I think that this was a bit darker/more gritty that I was originally expecting - which itself isn't bad but did take me out of the reading experience a bit. A read I would recommend, but check the trigger warnings first.

Also Anthony is the worst individual I have ever read in any book!!

I received a copy of this book from Little Island Books in exchange for an honest review.

CW: Alcoholism, off page death of a parent, grief, sexual assault

When James Spencer wakes up in his car outside school on a Friday morning, he knows it's going to be a bad day. From remembering that it's been one year to the day since his mother died in an accident, leaving him and his dad alone in their grief, to getting into an argument with his old crush Clara Hart about a phantom parking bump, he's ready to let loose at his friend Anthony's house party. But things go from bad to worse when Clara ends up dead at the end of the night, and the next morning Spence wakes up in his car again to realise it's Friday, again, and he has to repeat the day. Will he be able to save Clara? And what is he really suppose to be facing during this Groundhog Day moment?

This was a fast, addictive read that I couldn't put down. I really loved the main character James Spencer aka 'Spence' and he really did feel like an 18-year-old boy, on the verge of adulthood but still cloistered in the toxic fugue of lad culture, drinking and not really knowing anything about the opposite sex. Spence isn't a bad character, in fact he's rather sweet and becomes sweeter as the repetitive Fridays makes him not only more self-aware but also wakens him up to what's going on around him - the toxic masculinity of his friend group, and the danger some of the girls are in because of this. It takes Spence a while to see what he's fighting as he does everything to try and make things okay from befriending Clara, drinking the night away, and even exiting himself from the situation entirely. But Clara keeps ending up dead, and Friday keeps repeating.

This is a fantastic book looking at toxic masculinity from the inside out. I think this would be such an important book for YA readers, particularly male readers, as they think about what's said in those infamous lad Whatsapp groups, and how 'it's a joke' doesn't cut it. Words have meaning even if they are just said in a private group message - there's always one lad who thinks it's okay to take it further, to say it to the girls, to get his way no matter what, even if she isn't capable of consent.

This book is about the courage it takes to face yourself and your own actions, as well as that of standing up to a friend and telling them, 'no, this isn't right and I'm not going to let you act this way.' About ownership of your mistakes and not hiding from them, and apologising to those you hurt even when you didn't know they were hurting.

Definitely recommend this book.

3.7 ⭐️, so jarring I had to take a week to figure out how to formulate my thoughts into a review.

Firstly let’s talk about the plot, it has vague Groundhog Day vibes with the MC, a guy on the schools rugby team, forced to repeat his day over and over.

The first death of Clara is perhaps the most shocking and the most described (even then the SA occurs off page but there is vague descriptions around it.) SA for me is a trigger so I do often avoid it, but Finch handled the representation in a way I felt was really well done. There’s no overt descriptions to shock, instead finch uses the aftermath and the repercussions to sink in the prominence of the moments.

As he repeats the day the MC, James, has to learn why his day is repeating, and the journey is definitely one that kept me gripped the entire way through.

Without spoilers, I wasn’t massively keen on the ending. However, I do think perhaps Finch did this purposefully, because the whole book has a huge impact and just leaves the reader with yet more questions, giving you pause for thought on the subject and repercussions.

There is a vague relationship/romance in this (MLW) between James and Clara which is handled fairly well, it’s definitely not romanticised so much as there as a background point to reinforce central issues.

For me my only qualms was partly with the ending, and also the fact that James occasionally left me with a bad aftertaste, however, I also think perhaps Finch has done this intentionally which I did appreciate.

Honestly a damn good read but if you have SA triggers this is fairly heavy, even if not hugely detailed.

I do seriously hope some guys read this one. It’s almost as it’s written as a tool for them to recognise misogyny and the broad scope of SA and it should really be a school syllabus optional read.

Thank you to Little Island books for sending me a copy for review.

This is such a well-written, well-executed book! The voice of grieving, growing, faltering, teenage James Spencer is spot-on, with a real poignancy underlining the authenticity of his teen angst. This beautiful book tackles all those turbulent teenage troubles, from love (requited and un), fitting in, making the right decisions, and how far you go for friendship, with an extra helping of learning to live with raw pain of losing someone dear.

Don't we all wish we had the chance to replay some of those days gone by, to try them again until we get them right? But maybe it's not quite as fun as it sounds to be able to do just that.

I highly recommend this book to older teens, young adults, and me! I'm delighted I was sent an early review copy and will be urging my 20 year old daughter to ease it now I'm done with it. A fantastic debut, and I look forward to seeing what Louise Finch comes up with to follow it! A well-deserved 5***** for sure.

Wow! This was a well written and incredibly hard-hitting YA novel that I think will wisen the minds of many to come. I can imagine young adult girls discovering and choosing it on a perusal of titles on display, but I'd really like to hope all genders will take this story under their belts and grow with its messages, because it's an important one that needs to ripple through the masses. Would even suggest this could be a great book to study with older high schoolers.

Louise Finch, what an unsettlingly entertaining and wise debut.

I LOVE the ‘stuck in a time loop’ trope!! I forgot how much I love it, and I found the exploration of Nietzsche’s theory of eternal recurrence throughout to be really interesting. Spence is forced to reflect on his life’s decisions and ‘bystander’ role in his friend’s abusive decisions by reliving the same Friday over and over again.
Groundhog day, Happy Death Day, etc etc vibes throughout which is perfecto for me. So readable and dealing with actual important issues, especially for the target demographic of this book which is younger readers.! Loved it x

Very well written and psychologically sharp, dealing with big topics like grief, trauma, guilt, and others. I didn't think the sf-nal aspects (the time-loop) of this made any sense at all, which kind of lessened my overall appreciation, but I did enjoy the characters and the important learning-curve experienced by Spence the viewpoint character.

Die Idee, einen Jugendlichen einen bestimmten Tag immer wieder erleben zu lassen, ist nicht gerade neu, denn Lauren Oliver hat das bereits vor ein paar Jahren ebenfalls aufgegriffen (Das Buch mit dem unaussprechlich langen Titel im Deutschen, das auch verfilmt worden ist). Louise Finch gibt dem Ganzen aber eine neue Perspektive, da wir die Geschichte dieses Mal aus einem männlichen Blickwinkel miterleben dürfen.

Das Buch erschien ursprünglich 2023 unter dem Namen "The Eternal Return of Clara Hart" bei dem kleinen, unabhängigen Verlag "Little Island Books", der sich auf Kinder- und Jugendbücher spezialisiert hat. Deren Ziel ist es laut Website, Bücher zu verlegen, die etwas bei jungen Leser:innen bewegen und die deswegen in Erinnerung bleiben. Damit ist meiner Meinung nach auch gut zusammengefasst, was man von dieser Geschichte erwarten darf.

Wo und wann die Geschichte spielt, bleibt eigentlich relativ vage. Was man aber erfährt, ist Folgendes: James Spencer, genannt Spence, hat vor einem Jahr bei einem tragischen Unfall seine Mutter verloren, Vater und Sohn leiden gleichermaßen unter der Situation, schaffen es aber nicht, darüber zu sprechen.

Verständlich, dass Spence auch am ersten Todestag der Mutter eher den Kontakt zu seinen Freunden sucht und auf die im Klappentext erwähnte, verhängnisvolle Party geht. Das Ergebnis ist die Zeitschleife, aus der er - ganz in der Tradition von "Täglich grüßt das Murmeltier" - auszubrechen versucht, in dem er beginnt, bestimmte Ereignisse zu verändern.

Jede Wiederholung bringt dabei nicht nur für ihn neue Erkenntnisse, sondern auch für die Leser:innen, da auf diese Weise einige der beteiligten Figuren Stück für Stück mehr Tiefe bekommen. Spence dient hier nicht unbedingt als Sympathieträger. Aber ich halte seine Darstellung für realistisch, denn er ist ein junger Mann, dessen moralischer Kompass durch den Verlust der Mutter und durch den scheinbaren Zusammenhalt mit Anthony arg ins Wanken gekommen ist.

Mit jedem weiteren Freitag ist Spence somit einen Schritt weiter auf seiner Reise, aus seinem bisher gewohnten Leben auszubrechen und sein Umfeld kritisch zu hinterfragen. Ich sehe diese Geschichte deswegen auch ein bisschen als "Coming of Age"-Story, die Spence ein Stück reifer und erwachsener werden lässt.

Ich muss aber auch sagen, dass die Umsetzung an manchen Stellen für mich ein wenig geschwächelt hat. Manche Szenen wechseln so rasch, dass mir oft gar nicht sofort klar war, dass zwischen bestimmten Ereignissen Zeit vergangen ist. Gefühlt befand sich Spence morgens in der Schule und auf einmal paar Sätze weiter wieder auf der verhängnisvollen Party, ohne dass ich den Wechsel wirklich bemerkt hätte ...

Der Schreibstil ist darüber hinaus zu Beginn etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, die Dialoge sind - zumindest für mich - nicht immer nachvollziehbar. Leider verstärkt die "Qualität" der Übersetzung diesen Eindruck noch, denn es fehlen immer wieder einzelne Buchstaben und Wörter, Abstände zwischen zwei Wörtern oder auch Kommas.

Besonders zu Beginn bin ich außerdem an den umgangssprachlich verwendeten Beugungen der Verben hängengeblieben (z. B. "Ich geh" oder "Ich schau" außerhalb von Dialogen), dies gibt sich Gott sei Dank aber im Verlauf der Geschichte (mal abgesehen davon, dass der Übersetzer sich offensichtlich nicht zwischen "Ich schüttel" oder "Ich schüttle" entscheiden konnte).

Das Ende ist wohl Geschmacksache, ob es einem nun zusagt oder nicht. Ich fand es persönlich passend, aber fast ein wenig zu einfach. Auf jeden Fall kam es für mich ein wenig abrupt, was als Schlüssel für den Ausbruch aus der Zeitschleife herhalten musste ...

Spence i Anthony są przyjaciółmi od dzieciństwa. Zawsze byli dla Siebie wsparciem. Kiedy u Anthonego dochodzi do tragedii, Spence odkrywa, że nigdy nie znał swojego przyjaciela. Dzień się zapętla i kończy zawsze tak samo: śmiercią Clary Hart, dziewczyny ze szkoły. Chłopak codziennie się budzi i widzi ja żywą, zdrowa i lekko zdenerwowaną. Wierzy, że otrzymał kolejną szansę, aby ją ocalić. Uwięziony w pętlę czasu, skazany na przeżywanie w kółko tych samych dwudziestu czterech godzin, próbuje uniknąć wydarzeń z imprezy.

Muszę przyznać, ��e motyw zapętlenia czasowego jest dla mnie ogromnie atrakcyjny. Pamiętam w nastoletnich lat, że filmy z tym wątkiem bardzo mi się podobały. To była pierwsza książka poruszająca ten temat i muszę przyznać, że podobała mi się. Oczywiście mam kilka uwag do tej pozycji. Nastolatkowie próbują wykorzystać swoje młodzieńcze życie. Imprezy, używki i alkohol, takie sytuacje zazwyczaj kończą się źle. Tak właśnie było tym razem, podczas imprezy wydarzył się wypadek. Teraz Spence jest zmuszony przeżywać ten dzień ponownie.

Bardzo podobał mi się motyw szukania klucza, który uwolni go od zapętlenia. Z każdym powtarzającym się dniem, nastawienie bohatera do życia się zmienia. Przewartościowuje swoje życie i relacje z ludźmi. Stara się naprawić błędny innych tak jak i swoje. Postać Clary była dosyć skomplikowana, jednak z biegiem książki zrozumiałam jej postępowanie. Książka jest dosyć krótka w porównaniu do tematyki, którą opisuje. Wydaje mi się, że rozwinięcie akcji byłoby na plus. Kompletnie nie spodziewałam się klucza, który miał przywrócić normalny bieg. Jednak ogromny plus za zachowanie Spenca, w związku z tą sytuacją.

Książce brakuje trochę do okrzyknięcia ją świetną pozycją, jednak była dobra. Spędziłam przy niej dobry czas i już wiem, że potrzebuje więcej książek z motywem zapętlenia czasu.

This book is right up my street and I will be recommending it to all my pupils. We follow the life of Spence as he is forced to relive the same day over and over again. The author cleverly gets an important message across about sexual consent and everyone’s part to play in this. It also sensitively looks at the impact of grief too. The prose is simply perfect and I devoured this book in a day! I honestly can’t wait to see what Louise Finch writes next as she’s become one of my favourite authors. Highly recommend.

Timebomb ekko and powder but less likeable

ekko is a lonely yet people pleaser with anger issues and powder is just here and kinda ... Great?? Great that Spencer (ekko) got a lot of moments when he was lowkey relatable and well written but give my girl powder some credit too

The problem is this book was chaotic and, especially with clara (powder) soo rushed like i want more of her 😭

Besides, the ending is so unfinished for me, I don't get into the characters enough to add something to this ending by myself

Mega. Starke Botschaft.

Fängt sehr spannend an und gewinnt dann Stück für Stück ne gute Tiefe.
Spencers Entwicklung - braucht zwar etwas, aber ist verständlich.
Mag das Ende sehr, kein kitsch, einfach ein es-wird-besser-wir-arbeiten-daran
Der Schreibstil war eher abgehackt, aber passt für einen Teenager der grad nicht weiterweiß - lies sich aber trotzdem gut lesen
