"'A breath of fresh air...Livesey offers a zany, heart-warming page-turner' The Guardian Deftly plotted and filled with unexpected twists, Banishing Verona marks the arrival of another lyrical and wise novel from a writer whose work 'radiates with compassion and intelligence and always, deliciously, mystery' (Alice Sebold) 'Margot Livesey may well be Scotland's best-kept literary secret. Banishing Verona, an elegantly written, sparkling novel, is a pleasurable, delicious read that leaves you bereft when you reach the final page.' The Scotsman 'Margot Livesey can create sympathetic characters, and her ability to write beautifully crafted sentences ensures that the reader is hooked from the moment those overalls are found so spookily nailed down...Livesey's writing is so well paced, her dialogue has such wit and insight' Times Literary Supplement 'A moving study of life and death, this haunting, evocative novel asks questions about who we are and what forces shape us' Independent on Sunday"
Reseña del editor
Zeke is twenty-nine, a man who looks like a Raphael angel and who earns his living as a painter and carpenter in London. He reads the world a little differently from most people and has trouble with such ordinary activities as lying, deciphering expressions, recognising faces. Verona is thirty-seven, confident, hot-tempered, a modestly successful radio show host, unmarried, and seven months pregnant. When the two meet in a house that Zeke is renovating, they fall in love, only to be separated, when Verona leaves abruptly, without explanation, for Boston. Both have complications in their lives. Verona involves her brother, Henry, who is tied up in shady financial dealings. Zeke has his own troubles, yet he finds himself following Verona to Boston. As he pursues her, and she pursues Henry, both are forced to ask the perplexing question: Can we ever know another person?
