Gay Hilary finds and takes home a baby. His lover Rufus becomes the lover of Hilary’s sister. Too many improbable plot elements for me to believe the story. ( ) Like other Patrick Gale novels I've read, interestingly structured and plotty, but having read several other of his, turns of the story that might have surprised me once no longer do. On the other hand, the London setting surprised me a little, with many of Gale's other novels set in a fictional smallish town, or having links to Cornwall. But the London in this short novel also felt slightly unreal. An entertaining story of gender identity between a man named Hilary and a woman named Henry (who are siblings) and they both fall for the same man Rufus. It was a little difficult to keep in mind that Hilary was actually the brother and Henry was the sister, the names alone want you to switch their roles and gender. A dry comedy about their lives as adults and the lies that we tell not only ourselves but also others about who we really are. Zeige 4 von 4 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
A toe-tapping story of life and its wonderful and unexpected complexities. Hilary is a young, attractive teacher with aspirations to be a tap-dancer. Henry, his elder sister, is a crisp, professional psychologist. The unpredictable and unreliable Rufus, a failed pianist, is their lover - whom neither Hilary nor Henry realise they are sharing. Despite the constant danger of discovery, this unwitting triangle persists, in delicate balance - until, that is, someone new and totally unexpected enters the frame. Having rescued an abandoned baby boy, found soaked and tearful in a subway, Hilary decides, to his own great surprise, to become a surrogate parent. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
