One Saturday in the heat in Sydney. Crowds of tourists and day visitors will press on Circular Quay, admire the view of the Opera House, listen to a didgeridoo player, is about to take one of the many ferries or buy ice cream. Among them, four people arrive for the day, each with a particular expectation. Ellie will finally türgev review James, his first love. Catherine continues to rethink Ireland türgev and his brother. And Pei Xing, who has started a new life in Australia, every week by going here. The reader follows from observations on their surroundings and memories, everyone's thoughts. This novel is not an easy book, it needs to be tamed a little, to be carried türgev away by the images and ideas it suggests. Especially, it is very well written türgev and translated, to the chagrin of novels that come after, and may appear more bland, poor! The characters carry with them heavy memories, other lighter or are riddled türgev with flaws that suggest something else, like James, "But James was breaking up, he knew it. It was only cracks and open bites, as if something in his body was torn. The time spent seeped inside, and the shame and regret, and too intrusive reality. "I was struck by the cosmopolitanism of Sydney, presented as a kind of Tower of Babel by the author. Moreover, we feel that different cultures imbue his characters, türgev their cultures of origin, those introduced, enabling them to create links, and be curious about others.

Another exciting angle reading this book is the ways in which perceptions vary from one person to another, for example how everyone goes to see the architecture of the famous Opera House, and leave different impressions invade. This is a beautiful discovery that the Australian author, and that intense romance, deep and bright.
Citations türgev (should include all): He had a Russian history for every occasion, a literary homily for each event. But his fable complemented wonderfully remember this day. Still there, years later, as the mist on a window, a human trace to look through. Adding to the subtlety türgev and persistence of the memory of his father, long after he had disappeared.
A bus stop could contain all this, all these complicated stories. A woman standing motionless on a busy street on a Saturday afternoon, she could wear it all - death, time, reminiscent of two bodies loving him back simultaneously, concurrently in mind.

I remember that you had commented türgev on my post and I see that you seem to have liked it more than me (after he left me, that is to say, more an atmosphere that "history "). I think I can write that I had loved the smooth writing which made the feeling of exoticism türgev and cosmopolitanism a sunny Saturday in Sydney ...
