This is a mediocre love story at best, repackaged to be a story about 9/11. If I was in NYC the day of the attacks, I would be offended at the flippant way the days events are squeezed into the narrative of this not very good novel. ( ) A great read. The story takes place on September 11th and depicts the responses of a man, Gerhard Falktopf, his wife, Suzannah and their autistic son, Nikolai to the devastation that occurs in lower Manhattan. They flee the city to the Hamptons and each come into their own realizations about what is important and necessary in their lives and in their relationship with each other. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
The marriage of Gerhard and Suzannah Falktopf is already in trouble when tragedy strikes on the morning of September 11, 2001. Though they escape harm when the planes crash into the towers, husband and wife are suddenly cast into an unpredictable psychological space that allows their repressed selves, and their sharp differences, to rise to the surface. With their young son and nanny in tow, they head for the safety of the Hamptons. But despite their soft landing in this cocoon of privilege, the unleashed demons will push them to their psychic limits -- so much so that by the next morning they will hardly recognize each other. Taking place over a manic twenty-four hours, A Day at the Beach is a fast-paced, razor-sharp story whose personal tragedy contains sparks of dark humor about American life pre- and post-9/11. Helen Schulman has crafted a powerful portrait of a marriage in crisis, framed by one of the darkest events in our country’s history. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
