A Start in Life

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 2 iun 2016

'Dr Weiss, at forty, knew that her life had been ruined by literature.'

Ruth Weiss, an academic, is beautiful, intelligent and lonely. Studying the heroines of Balzac in order to discover where her own childhood and adult life has gone awry, she seeks not salvation but enlightenment.

Yet in revisiting her London upbringing, her friendships and doomed Parisian love affairs, she wonders if perhaps there might not be a chance for a new start in life . . .

Recenzii

Excellent
Enormously sophisticated, knowing, often very funny tragi-comedy
How can anything be so funny and so sad both at once? Every sentence is an object lesson in compression and wit.
A delight, amusing, beautifully written.
Excellent, brilliantly drawn.
