Il titolo del romanzo sarebbe 'The lowland', che rende benissimo rispetto alle ambientazioni. Non capisco cosa c'entri 'La moglie'. Che tra l'altro dopo tutte quelle pagine mi sta anche un poco sulle balle.
E' un romanzo di gente triste, per me.

Un libro di sconfitti, checche' se ne dica.… (altro)
