Deborah Forster

The Book Of Emmett (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Beginning with a fractious funeral ceremony on a hellishly hot day in Melbourne's west, The Book of Emmett - the first novel by Deborah Forster - patiently and painfully traces the lives to this point of an ordinary family. The father, Emmett Brown, is by turns cruel, capricious and charming. Forster analyses the physical and psychological damage that this combination of qualities causes Emmett's wife and children, as well as the bonds that they are compelled to form with each other. The novel's prose is elegiac. Its scenes of domestic life are jaggedly vivid. Forster has created an insightful anatomy of suburban Australia.
