Críticas
Esi Edugyan's engagement with universal themes of human disappointment packs a powerful emotional punch. . . Fine writing, subtle characterisation and a convincing portrayal of place and period mark out this engaging first work, reminiscent of early VS Naipaul (Guardian 'Terse, compelling prose. . . a powerful and melancholic story of one man's unfulfilled life')
TLS ('some darkly comic moments')
Scotland on Sunday ('A formidable talent-the narrative is crisp, exacting and expertly wrought')
Big Issue
Reseña del editor
After the death of Uncle Jacob, the man who oversaw his education and passage to Canada from Ghana as a penance for having betrayed his father, Samuel inherits his crumbling house. In a moment of triumph, Samuel quits his desperately boring civil service job, and convinces his grudging family to take up residence there. His wife and his odd silent twins reluctantly agree and begin to resurrect the house from the weeds, mould and decay. The deep rot is not only in the house. Their new town also has some very dubious characters. But the real strangeness, if not madness, resides in his very family - most particularly with the twins.
