The twist kept it from one star but it was many levels of weird. ( ) If I want to be kind, I could say that J.M. Lee’s “Broken Summer” suffers from the enthusiasm and creative proclivity of the translator. Maybe that’s the reason I struggled through the novel, as metaphor followed metaphor. The plot was almost buried in them. The story line - two brothers, two young girls, entwined love affairs, misunderstandings, a tragedy, a pregnancy, an older woman lusted after by a young boy, a car accident, a brilliant artist, a flowing river, a grand house on a hill. There’s plenty there, and perhaps had the novel been written in a lower more subtle key, I could have enjoyed it. But it wasn’t. And I didn’t. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
"Lee Hanjo is an artist at the peak of his fame, envied and celebrated. Then, on his forty-third birthday, he awakens to find that his devoted wife has disappeared, leaving behind a soon-to-be-published novel she'd secretly written about the sordid past and questionable morality of an artist with a trajectory similar to Hanjo's. It's clear to him that his life is about to shatter and the demons from his past will come out. But why did his wife do it? Why now? The book forces Hanjo to reflect on a summer from his youth when a deadly lie irreversibly and tragically determined the fates of two families. From master storyteller J. M. Lee, one of Korea's most renowned authors, comes an unforgettable novel of hidden truths, denials, and their inevitable repercussions. Everyone still left standing from that terrible summer so long ago must finally reckon with the deceptions that started it all and, twist after shocking twist, reap both the suffering and the vindication that comes with revenge"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
