Sinossi
Definito dallo Spectator/i> “un bellissimo romanzo sulla fragilità e sulla tenacia dell’amore”, Un lontano rumore di passi è ambientato nel secondo dopoguerra e racconta con delicata crudeltà come un matrimonio apparentemente felice venga distrutto dal tradimento del marito, che si lascia sedurre da una giovane donna tanto bella quanto viziata. E, con il personaggio della moglie, Ellen, ci consegna un ritratto incisivo sia della condizione femminile dell’epoca, legata a doppio filo al matrimonio, sia di quel desiderio di riscatto che anima le donne ancora oggi.

She's selfish, manipulating and heartless and right from the beginning you can't h Leggi tutto
This didn't have quite the same depth as Whipple's masterpiece, 'They Were Sisters', but it was nevertheless a wonderful read.
A really enjoyable read. Loved the characters!
Although a rather hefty book, 'Someone at a Distance' really packs a punch and becomes addictive reading once you get past the first dozen pages or so. The characters are drawn so clearly and concisely that it pains you to read of their downfall. The theme of adultery is covered with intensity and t Leggi tutto
