The introductory chapter of this book talks to us about limestone. It's appearance and solidity, a blank canvas for art and a building block for the town in which Clare Lacey was born. The writing is clever and informative as it digresses into the past of Clare Lacey, an art-history lecturer, who is in Ireland to speak at a conference. A shocking revelation sees Clare abruptly leave and go on a quest to trace her father, who walked out one day to buy a pack of cigarettes and never returned. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and hope one day to revisit it. A worthy contender for the NZ Post Book Award 2010. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique

"A fabulous multi-levelled novel, shortlisted for the Montana NZ Book Awards. Clare Lacey is on a quest. In Ireland to attend an art history conference, she sets out to find her father who walked out one day to buy a packet of cigarettes when she was a child, and disappeared. She is urged on her way by chance encounters- with a woman in a high tower, a blind man at a crossroads, a singer whose song she does not understand . . . Clues lie all around on a labyrinth of walls - but the final clue lies deep within. With Irish roots and a nod to the Irish classic,The Year of the Hikerby John B. Keane, this is a contemporary novel about inheritance, belief, art, love . . . and limestone." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
