The Rescue Man

Autor Anthony Quinn
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2010

Recenzii

"Thoughtful, beautifully observed and utterly compelling" Independent on Sunday "A fascinating novel - very moving and beautifully nuanced and observed - it beguiles with a tremendous slow-burning power" -- William Boyd "Brilliant...an involving meditation on passion, history and architecture" Daily Mail "A love letter to Liverpool...ambitiously conceived... He has perfect pitch when it comes to the prose of each period, so much so that when I started the novel, I had the uncanny sense that what I was reading must have been salvaged from the 1940s. It's every line convinces" Observer "The story has the resonant simplicity of a poem... The Rescue Man turns the ongoing frenzy of construction and destruction into a quietly powerful metaphor of how we grow up" Guardian
