The third Coughlin book (after The Given Day and Live By Night) and the second Joe Coughlin book (the first is LBN), this one is darker and bleaker, finding Joe a few years after the events of Live By Night. I can't praise Lehane enough. His pacing, his dialogue, his characters, his plots, his narrative. His books don't just offer up a story, they sing. He's just that good. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

HTML: A psychologically, morally complex novel of blood, crime, passion, and vengeance, set in Cuba and Ybor City, Florida, during World War II, in which Joe Coughlin must confront the cost of his criminal past and present. Ten years have passed since Joe Coughlin's enemies killed his wife and destroyed his empire, and much has changed. Prohibition is dead, the world is at war again, and Joe's son, Tomás, is growing up. Now, the former crime kingpin works as a consigliore to the Bartolo crime family, traveling between Tampa and Cuba, his wife's homeland. A master who moves in and out of the black, white, and Cuban underworlds, Joe effortlessly mixes with Tampa's social elite, U.S. Naval intelligence, the Lansky-Luciano mob, and the mob-financed government of Fulgencio Batista. He has everythingâ??money, power, a beautiful mistress, and anonymity. But success cannot protect him from the dark truth of his pastâ??and ultimately, the wages of a lifetime of sin will finally be paid in full. Dennis Lehane vividly recreates the rise of the mob during a world at war, from a masterfully choreographed Ash Wednesday gun battle in the streets of Ybor City to a chilling, heartbreaking climax in a Cuban sugar cane field. Told with verve and skill, World Gone By is a superb work of historical fiction from one of "the most interesting and accomplished American novelists" (Washington Post) writing tod Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
