I enjoyed the book, with its subject of adultery and Edinburgh setting too (I'm a big fan of reading books set in places I know well). It was just a shame it was written by an author I presume to be American, with American & English main characters. Really, there was no authentic Scottish feel to it at all, the city was merely a nice stage, & that disappointed me. The only two Scottish characters were very minor & very negative, which I felt was rich seeing as all the characters were in the country to study at Edinburgh university because of its high reputation. The author made little effort to use the country as anything more than as a prop to show just how urbane her characters were. But the writing was pleasant & I did like the way that the reader was allowed to make their own judgements on the characters with a fairly neutral narrative - overall I thought it was a good book.

Edinburgh 1977. The end of an era. The end of the postwar boom. The end of the sexual revolution. But for Saul and Catherine, postgraduate students meeting at a departmental party at the university, it seems like a beginning of sorts. Their attraction to one another is instantaneous, and the affair that follows at first seems all-absorbing - a heady mix of sexual desire and literary passions. But then the arrival of Saul's wife, Virginia, from New York, introduces darker notes of guilt and doubt, as the lovers find themselves increasingly enmeshed in their clandestine liaison. As the months pass, and tensions are stretched to breaking-point, it becomes clear that hard choices will have to be made. Other, real life, concerns must take precedence over those of romantic love - but at what a cost? Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
