He has a unique voice and, though I didn’t enjoy this as much as his first novel, The Reef, it was an enjoyable book because I find his prose sensual and evocative…he is a master of the evanescent thought, the evanescent moment. This is the history of two families in Sri Lanka but the book is really more a set of musings on the passage of time and its implications for mortality. Gunesekera also gives plenty of food for thought on the meaning of identity and, especially, of exile. ( ) Prins returns to come to his Mother's funeral, and to find out some answers. The narrator is a family friend who lived with Pearl, the family's matriach. The action moves between London and Sri Lanka, where the family is from, and from the runup to Independence throught to the present day. At times the book reminded me of The God of Small Things, which I read recently and also enjoyed greatly. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
