Op dit moment geen Discussie gesprekken over dit boek. this was fine... entertaining! but at the same time not exciting. i know it was only 130 pages, but i think there could've been more. it's a bittersweet story as Mirabelle looks for genuine love and happiness. there are a lot of quiet heartbreaking moments that i liked. not amazing or groundbreaking, but it was enjoyable. quick, easy to read and well written. i don't read stories with characters like Mirabelle so that was refreshing Heeft de bewerkingOnderscheidingen
Mirabelle works as a shop assistant in the glove department at Niemans, LA's finest store; she also draws darkly gothic pictures at night. Adrift in the world and lonely, her situation is not improved by the fact that hardly anyone buys the kind of gloves that Niemans sell, so she spends most of her day leaning on the counter staring into empty space. There are two men in her life - Jeremy, a man who stencils amplifiers for a living, and Mr Ray Porter, an older man and millionaire who applies logic to relationships, and is serially confused and disappointed. In this exquisitely self-contained novel, Steve Martin touches on the surface horrors of LA - the false noses, lips, breasts and people - without exaggeration or explicitly playing for laughs. It's insightful, dark, funny and tender. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
