Unfortunately none of the characters in this sharply observed novel are at all likeable and the uncritical sexism and racism is hard to take. This is a shame as there is no doubt that Ford is a good story teller. ( ) This was Ford's first novel. It is fairly amazing. Once I finished the book, I read the back-flap description, and what I read surprised me a little. Yes, I could see how it all fitted together, but I took more "people" and "place" from the novel than I did plot. Even though I wasn't following the plot with bated breath, I was devouring the words and their incredible ability to take me into people's lives. Right into peoples lives. Ford manages this through both dialogue that is subtle yet so revealing, and also though descriptions. Descriptions of peoples expressions, of the landscape, of their thoughts. You get to a point where he describes a characters expression, and you just know what they are thinking. This guy is a genius. And this book was, for me, about enjoying the journey. Which I did. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

Ford's mesmerizing first novel is the story of two godless pilgrims. Robard Hewes has driven across the country in the service of a destructive passion. Sam Newell is seeking the missing piece of himself. When these men converge, on an uncharted island in the Mississippi, each discovers the thing he's looking for--amid a conflagration of violence that's as shocking as it is inevitable. " This is one of those books that hit you hard...a story filled with breathing characters and genius-crafted dialogue between moments of consummate description.... I can't be unbiased. I'm mad for this book." --Elizabeth Ashton, "Houston Chronicle" Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
