When Memory Dies de A. Sivanandan

When Memory Dies

Autor A. Sivanandan
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 19 sep 2007
This novel is a powerful three-generational saga of a Sri Lankan family's search for coherence and continuity in a country broken by colonial occupation and riven by ethnic wars. The character Saha looks for order in a return to traditional values; Rajan is on a quest for modernity that takes him to the mother country; and Vijay is in a fight for socialism that ends in terror. Through the travail of their lives emerges the possibility of another future.

Recenzii

"Haunting and immense tenderness. the extraordinary poetic tact of this book makes it unforgettable" - John Berger, The Guardian"Profoundly moving. Sivanandan triumphs in his evocation of a beautiful country he perceives as doomed. His love for the country he has lost is the driving passion of his work" - Evening Standard"This is not just a book about Sri Lanka. The struggles it touches upon, both moral and political, face us all: the battle between our hunger for love or learning or success and our need, even passion, for integrity. This is a book of, and about, many lifetimes" - Melissa Benn, The Independent"This rich novel, peopled with unforgettable heroines and heroes, will haunt the reader's mind"- David Rose, The observer"A brilliant and moving first novel" - TLS
