Rezensionen

Teherán, mediados del siglo XIX, la corte del Shah atraviesa por momentos convulsos entre conjuras e intrigas de palacio. Todo bajo la atenta mirada de la reina madre. En medio de este tenso ambiente, sobreviene un hecho que va a alterar aún más los difíciles equilibrios de poder: la súbita e inesperada aparición de una mujer cuyas ideas, consideradas subversivas y heréticas, recorren todo el país como la pólvora.

Un livre remarquable. Poétique et d’un style époustouflant.

The lack of stars is because I am not the person to decide how many this should get. Some books one hates but can be confident that it is a bad book. Not the case here, it isn't that I think it's a bad book. I don't know what it is.

I'm afraid I have let Fionnuala down, agreeing to read this book she highly favours. After 100 tortuous pages I have decided not to finish it. There was a clue. I've been reading a lot over the last months until suddenly I was given The Leopard, and Us and Them arrived in the mail. They have made my reading life so miserable that I have started watching TV shows on my small screen rather than spend an evening with either book. I almost never watch TV! What am I doing?? And I have hundreds of wonderful books on my shelves all saying 'read me'.

Life's too short. The gift of reading might be the thing that we are likely last to lose, but lose it we will. And I have so much I'd like to get through.

In the case of Us & Them, I won't even say it's not you, it's me. To me it had the alienness of My Name is Red. In that case I did blame myself, but that was because I thought the first of Pamut's I read was a masterpiece. Here I have a blank past.

Sorry Fionnula. The good news is that a local library in Adelaide now has a copy of this book as I asked them to purchase it. I hope others will find it more rewarding.
