The Forgiven - Tapa dura
Críticas:
"Compelling...Engrossing...Gripping" (Sunday Times)
"Surprising and dark and excellent" (New York Times)
"A sinister story about guilt, atonement and restitution, fashioned from lean, prowling prose" (Herald)
"More than a stylish thriller... The central plot has parallels with The Bonfire of the Vanities, while the socialites could be straight out of The Great Gatsby" (Stylist)
"A gripping read" (Kirkus)
"A superbly compelling novel... As menacing and engrossing as the best McEwan" (Robert Collins Sunday Times)
"Osborne brings together all his authorial talents in this gripping and sophisticated thriller" (Emma Hagestadt Independent)
"Stylish, somehow both lavish and muscular at the same time" (David Evans Independent on Sunday)
"Utterly compelling; at the risk of trotting out a cliché, I couldn't put the book down" (Justin Cartwright Observer)
"No mere imitation but a contribution to the shelf on which The Sheltering Sky and The Bonfire of the Vanities also sit, The Forgiven explores the clash of two cultures, each of which feels superior to the other. Osborne's writing is uncomfortably well observed; his story is sickeningly, addictively headlong." (Lionel Shriver)

For the sake of fun and friendship, and a few days under a fiercer sun, David and Jo Henniger accept the invitation to attend the annual bacchanal of old acquaintances at their home in the Moroccan desert.
On the road, darkness has descended, directions are vague and the couple begin to argue. When two young fossil sellers suddenly appear from the side of the road, hawking their wares, David – inebriated and irritable – fails to stop the car as it collides with one of the young men.
Meanwhile, festivities at the house are in full flow. Under the watchful eyes of their Moroccan staff, the extravagant hosts attend to the whims of their glittering, insatiable guests as the party rages on into a new day. The stage is set for a weekend in which David and Jo must come to terms with their fateful act and its shattering consequences.
