Meld je aan bij LibraryThing om erachter te komen of je dit boek goed zult vinden. Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. A quirky, very wry and very funny book about being dead. You can always rely on Williams to write something totally off-piste, and this kept me reading right to the very end. Yes, there were some slow passages and the sections about the dog were pointless and rather irritating, but the way the characters were developed and rounded out, plus the surprises when the crimes are solved, are top-notch. Moreover, the last few pages are glorious and very moving. A very fine portrait of a modern marriage. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Retired bank manager George Pearmain is, apparently, dead. According to the behaviour of everyone around him, it would seem that he is no more. Not only that, but his mother has also passed away too - and on the eve of her 99th year, poor dear. Not only that, it could be that they were both murdered. He feels fine otherwise. As George's family gather for the birthday-celebration-that-never-was, he hovers around the house, watching and listening, entirely unseen. As a result, he makes all sorts of discoveries about himself, his wife Esmeralda and his supposedly happy family . . . Screamingly funny and strange, it asks the question: What if you could bear witness to your own demise? Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
