clear light of day, Anita Desai
I read this book through reading group homonymous formed discussion group aNobii A Blade of India through the initiative of Stefan Memole that you can learn more on his blog pleasant.
arrived late to talk about the book, although he does more than a month ago. This is because I was not very enthusiastic. Reading it lasted long and unevenly and tiring. I can say now, on balance, even unfairly, because in the end, something the book left me. It is true that I was not too keen. His narrative has a delicacy of manners, a lack of facts and such a stillness I was just captivated and convinced, at least all'ingranare reading. It was the reading group that has pushed me to finish it, otherwise probably would have left him there.
What left me?
The characters are very well characterized, very well investigated in their innermost being, their ways of being in society precisely in relation to them that they belong to. Four brothers, one handicapped, two very rebellious and daring, obstinate in dispute between them to disagreements of the past, the fourth, the youngest, fled the building of Old Delhi life through a marriage to a diplomat, try bringing the two while undermining the precarious balance and provisional caked with age, giving new light to their lives. The partition in the background, takes place, chaining their lives to the story, but not their souls, until a new dawn, in which the grievances are melting at the gates of old age.
advice. Do not wait Trami, events or intricate plots Indians. Here is the immobility of a sultry day and the taste of being able to wait until the monsoon passes and nourish the souls burned.
