Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This was a tearjerker. First I love how this is a man talking about one of his loves. One he cannot forget and one that changed his life.Kim is floundering and doesn't have a clue what to do with his life. So he decides to go work at a hotel he used to go to with his dad and mom before his mom died. Upon getting there he meets Cally who is just breathtaking to him but he doesn't want to act upon it because she is older than him. Cally takes matters into her own hands and one thing leads to another and they are together. This book chronicles their love affair and how his time with her impacts his life. A beautiful heartbreaking book where we learn how one person can truly make a difference in your life if you open yourself up to the experience. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. I didn't like the beginning-- although it might help that this is apparently the third book and I've never read the other two. I didn't follow the story until I'd skimmed a lot further... but after that this book was incredibly entertaining. I came to tolerate Kim's voice and love Cally. And then I slept late finishing it. Cette critique a été écrite dans le cadre des Critiques en avant-première de LibraryThing. This book is absolutely gripping - both literary and a page-turner - and I thoroughly enjoyed it. The man's point of view on a key relationship was a very refreshing spin on the literary romance genre, and I also thought the descriptions of Kim's life as a waiter, his friendships and family relationships were just great.Of course the main focus is his relationship with the older artist, Cally, which was both movingly and sharply portrayed. Some of the relationship is strangely magical and some of it is very bleak, but it's a tour-de-force of description. The ending is both poignant and perfect. More please. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Kim is a waiter in a Dorset hotel, an absolute hot-bed of sex. But he's seeing none of it. Instead he falls for Cally, a 43-year-old artist who is steaming with chutzpah. She is a woman who grabs life by the throat; she knows what she wants - and most of the time she gets it, too. She lives only in the moment, losing a number of her nine lives - and nearly killing Kim in the process. Kim finds love as he has never known it before - but even when he's completely in Cally's thrall, he's still unable to resist the allure of other younger women. A couple can bridge a 20-year age gap, but can they ever make the relationship last? This is the third book in the series, following on from 'The Well-Tempered Clavier' and 'The Woman Who Made Men Cry.' Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
