Despre această carte electronică
The basis for the Australian film—a powerful novel of family ruin and redemption from “a born storyteller” (St. Louis Post-Dispatch).
Wanted as a material witness in a drug-smuggling case, Greg Kendall is hiding out at his family’s old Chicago home. While there, he finds himself thinking about his long dead siblings, older brother Cliff and twin sister Kate. The two died in a car crash years before, and as Greg revisits and relives the memories of his childhood, he awakens long-buried secrets from the family’s past—including memories of his relationship with his twin that were better left undisturbed.
“A commanding writer of unusual power and delicacy.” —The New Yorker
“A born storyteller.” —St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Despre autor
Born in Harvey, Illinois, Newton Thornburg graduated from the University of Iowa with a fine arts degree. He worked in a variety of jobs before devoting himself to writing full-time (or at least in tandem with his cattle farm in the Ozarks) in 1973.
His 1976 novel Cutter and Bone was filmed in 1981 as Cutter's Way. The New York Times called Cutter and Bone "the best novel of its kind for ten years." Another novel-to film Beautiful Kate was filmed in Australia in 2009 and starred Bryan Brown and Ben Mendelsohn. It was directed by Rachel Ward, who is Bryan Brown's real-life wife.
Thornburg died on May 9, 2011, a few days shy of his eight-second birthday.
