The Photographer's Wife

Autor Suzanne Joinson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 5 apr 2017
By the author of A Lady Cyclist's Guide to Kashgar, an LA Times bestseller: a beautiful and gripping story of love and betrayal, set in 1920s Jerusalem and 1930s SussexJerusalem, 1920: eleven-year-old Prudence feels tensions rising as her architect father launches an eccentric plan to redesign the Holy City. When he employs a British pilot, William Harrington, to take aerial photographs of the city, Prue is uncomfortably aware of the attraction that sparks between Harrington and Eleanora, the English wife of a famous Jerusalem photographer - a nationalist, intent on removing the British. Years later, in rain-soaked Sussex, Prue opens her door to an unwelcome visitor. What he reveals unravels her world, and she must follow the threads back to secrets buried long ago in Jerusalem.

Recenzii

A haunting, original and beautifully written tale
Bold and elegant ... An ambitious, accomplished debut
Sprightly, engaging and lovingly written
A delicate yet gutsy spirit of adventure pervades its pages ... Joinson writes with a control and vivacity that fires our own dreams of flight
Captivating . Vivid descriptions of exotic landscapes combined with those of Prudence's solitary life in a cabin by the sea give the story an ethereal quality . An engaging read filled with tension and surprises on every page
