ISBN: 9780307268877 - a partisan's daughter (34 Ergebnisse)

Hardback. Zustand: Good. England, late 1970s. Forty-something Chris is trapped in a loveless, sexless marriage. Roza, in her twenties, the daughter of one of Tito's partisans, has only recently moved to London from Yugoslavia. One evening, Chris mistakes her for a prostitute and propositions her. Instead of being offended, she gets into his car. Over the next months Roza tells Chris stories of her past. She's a fast-talking, wily Scheherazade, saving her own life as she retells it-and Chris is rapt. This deeply moving novel of their unlikely love is also a brilliantly subtle commentary on the seductive power of storytelling. …

This story is told in short chapters, narrated by the two main characters - by Chris, a lonely man who lives with a passionless wife and by Roza, a young woman he meets on the street and propositions, under the mistaken belief that she was working as a prostitute. This unlikely couple end up meeting and having regular talks at Roza's dilapidated home, where she tells him stories about her life. We wonder if Roza is an unreliable narrator, but we want to believe her, and so does Chris. Her stories charm Chris, so much so that he begins to fall for Roza, and he craves her company and fantasizes about making her his lover. He is falling in love with her, and she seems to be caring for him, too, despite her tales getting wilder and more sordid. We learn early on that these characters do not end up together, and that this is the cause of quite a bit of regret. By the end of the book, we find out why, and what happened. I enjoyed the book a great deal. It can be very funny at times, and yet there are also some horrendous passages. This story tells us something about lost opportunities, and about living life to the fullest.…
