   Finlandia Prize Nominee (136) Actuellement, il n'y a pas de discussions au sujet de ce livre.   ) st3t | Aug 3, 2020 |   ) TerhiVaheranta | Nov 26, 2015 | It was a quick read, not very interesting, partly because the outcome of the plot was already told on the back side of the book, there was no "will he do it or not" in the whole book. No, it was a rather annoying book, with characters who just lived their lives and did not 'do' anything to end the misery they were in, it was, despite all the violence in the relations, a rather dull book to me. (  ) BoekenTrol71 | Mar 31, 2013 | ) jerhogan | Jan 9, 2013 | Part of the problem may lie in the nature of the narrator, whom the reader learns is flawed as a novelist, and who drifts by on the edge of the story. At one point, it is suggested that the narrator tends to dwell too much on researched detail. Certainly, the (over-)careful descriptions of Helsinki can drag the narrative thread down. It may be fun for some people to 'spot' local sights, but I did not need to know the exact name and location of many of the places where the story unfolds. There is a lot that hits the mark: a middle-aged man in love with a younger woman; a hopeless love triangle; characters who seem unable to change. The conclusions, however, are left open.

"I asked you to write a story about love, not a story about crime!" he yelled, and I answered, "I'm sorry, but in my mind they've become inseparable."In the middle of the night, a man makes a phone call to his best friend. He needs help, he says - and the loan of a heavy-duty shovel. The story of Christian Lang is one of obsession both physical and emotional. A famous novelist and television chat-show host, Lang wants to keep his affair with the enchanting Sarita a secret, but she has her own reasons for keeping it quiet too. Lang finds himself caught up in a sinister love triangle with Sarita and her violent ex-husband. He knows that his life is in danger but so great is Lang's passion for his lover that he is unable to stay away.As Lang is drawn further into a spiral of lust, lies and violence his judgement becomes increasingly irrational. This is a compelling story about love, hatred and obsession and of how these can override the emotion of intense fear. West has produced a superbly crafted tale of the terrifying lengths to which a man will go to fuel his addiction to a woman. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
