Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 263 pages. Jo's husband has disappeared in a climbing accident, and she can't cope with not knowing whether he's alive or not. She moves to Wellington with her son Matt , into a neighbourhood full of colourful characters -- the Kahlers, a German cou ple still living through World War II, Hok who can test for spirits, and Thomas, reclusive violin-maker. She also meets Sokha, whose husband disappeared during the civil war in Cambodia and is also trying to figure out a way to live with un certainty and doubt. Racial violence rears its ugly head and affects them all, b ut Jo can't find a way out of her personal dilemma -- until the shock of a diffe rent kind of tragedy. 'This is a redemptory tale, told in a unique voice. Jansen 's style is seamless without being slick; it's detailed but uncluttered. She kno ws when to pare back, what to include.There's hardly a word out of place or an awkward moment.' NZ Listener. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 1706ab
