Reseña del editor
The new novel from the best-selling author of Miss Garnet's Angel and Instances of the Number 3.
Mr Golightly is much in need of a holiday. As successful as Golightly Enterprises has been, it has also taken up all his time and energy, and anyway the fortunes of the company are now somewhat in decline. Mr Golightly needs to rethink the whole operation. Choosing the perfect English village of Great Calne as his holiday destination, Mr Golightly has time to reconsider the dwindling appeal of the international bestseller which made Golightly Enterprises what it once was. The great work needs to be modernised and Mr Golightly has the idea of reconceiving the whole thing as a soap opera. Strangely, the story of the book seems to be being played out around him amongst the villagers of Great Calne. All very mysterious. Indeed there is mystery surrounding Mr Golightly too. Who is he? And what of the tragic story of his son’s death?
In this bravura performance, Salley Vickers has written a novel which is at once audacious, complex and very funny.

Trade Paperback. Zustand: Good. Many years ago Mr Golightly wrote a work of dramatic fiction which grew to be an international best-seller. But his reputation is on the decline and he finds himself out of touch with the modern world. He decides to take a holiday and comes to the ancient village of Great Calne, hoping to use the opportunity to bring his great work up to date. But he soon finds that events take over his plans and that the themes he has written on are being strangely replicated in the lives of the villagers he is staying among. He meets Ellen Thomas, a reclusive artist, young Johnny Spence, an absconding school boy, and the tough-minded Paula who works at the local pub. As he comes to know his neighbours better, Mr Golightly begins to examine his attitude to love, and to ponder the terrible catastrophe of his son's death. And as the drama unfolds we begin to learn the true and extraordinary identity of Mr Golightly and the nature of the secret sorrow which haunts him links him to his new friends. Mysterious, light of touch, witty and profound, 'Mr Golightly's Holiday' confirms Salley Vickers's reputation as one of our most original and engaging novelists. Foxing to outer page edges. 356 pages. Light tanning to pages. Quantity Available: 1. Shipped Weight: Under 1 kilogram. Category: Fiction; Fiction; ISBN: 0007173946. ISBN/EAN: 9780007173945.

Paperback. NOV03. Golightly Enterprises has been successful, but it needs a re-think; maybe the bestseller that made it what it was could be re-conceived as a soap opera? Mysteriously, its characters are played out before Mr Golightly's eyes while on holiday in Great Calne and the mystery doesn't end there. 2003. A trade paperback copy in near fine condition with only very minor bumping of the corners of the wraps. {"length"=>["23.4"], "width"=>["15.3"], "units"=>["Centimeters"]}.
