David Abden is the scion of a well-to-do Scottish family, a con man whose scams once landed him in jail. Almost by accident he enters the perfume trade, eventually becoming sales manager and lover to Mme Shona, a mysterious Russian cosmetics magnate. A series of events, including an unexpected inheritance and an unsatisfying marriage, lead Abden to make hard choices about his life's direction. Abden is not an easy character to like in the beginning, and several hundred pages of his smug, exceedingly clever point of view make for more than a few tedious passages. Yet the writing is solid, the characterization good, and Abden's emotional maturity is convincingly portrayed and ultimately affecting. ( ) nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
From the author of Poldark, the bestselling book and hit television series. A life of crime can be very alluring, especially to one who falls between law-abiding respectability and the underworld . . . Twenty-four-year-old David Abden is a baronet's nephew who loves fast cars and women. But as illegitimate opportunities present more and more temptation the glamour of risk begins to consume his life. Abden is presented with few easy ways out as his life spirals out of his control. A psychological thriller from the master of precise detail, The Green Flash is one of Winston Graham's grittiest and most compelling novels. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
