Widows and Orphans - Michael Arditti - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Lyrical and witty, moving and profound: the story of a good man fighting for his principles in a hostile world 'An uncomfortable but very readable novel about the careless greeds of the way we live now' Helen Dunmore, Guardian 'A Graham Greene for our time' Spectator 'There are splendidly comic scenes worthy of Alan Ayckbourn' Ham and High The Francombe & Salter Mercury has served the residents of two South Coast resorts for over 150 years. Hit by both the economic decline and the advent of new technology, Duncan Neville, the latest member of his family to occupy the editor's chair, is struggling to keep the paper afloat. Duncan's personal life is in similar disarray as he juggles the demands of his elderly mother, disaffected son, harassed ex-wife and devoted secretary. Meanwhile, a childhood friend turned bitter rival unveils plans to rebuild the dilapidated pier, which, while promising to revive the town's fortunes, threaten its traditional ethos. Then Duncan meets Ellen, a recent divorcee, who has moved to Francombe with her two teenage children. By turns lyrical, witty and poignant, Widows and Orphans casts an unflinching eye over the joys and adversities of contemporary life and paints a masterful portrait of a decent man fighting for his principles in a hostile world.

Confessions - Jaume Cabre - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Confessions - Jaume Cabre - Bog - Quercus Publishing - Plusbog.dk

With a new introduction by Colm Toíbín "Absolutely captivating" ANDREA CAMILLERI "Monumental" Guardian Drawing comparisons with Shadow of the Wind and The Name of the Rose , and an instant bestseller in many languages, Confessions is an astonishing story of one man''s life, interwoven with a narrative that stretches across centuries to create an addictive and unforgettable literary symphony.At 60 and with a diagnosis of early Alzheimer''s, Adria Ardevol re-examines his life before his memory is systematically deleted. He recalls a loveless childhood where the family antique business and his father''s study become the centre of his world; where a treasured Storioni violin retains the shadows of a crime committed many years earlier. His mother, a cold, distant and pragmatic woman leaves him to his solitary games, full of unwanted questions. An accident ends the life of his enigmatic father, filling Adria''s world with guilt, secrets and deeply troubling mysteries that take him years to uncover and driving him deep into the past where atrocities are methodically exposed and examined.Gliding effortlessly between centuries, and at the same time providing a powerful narrative that is at once shocking, compelling, mysterious, tragic, humorous and gloriously readable, Confessions reaches a crescendo that is not only unexpected but provides one of the most startling denouements in contemporary literature. Confessions is a consummate masterpiece in any language, with an ending that will not just leave you thinking, but quite possibly change the way you think for ever.
