Recensioner

Larrys gäster : roman av Carol Shields

En bok om Larry Wellers liv. Femton kapitel som är nedslag i olika delar under 20 år av hans liv. Genom två äktenskap som kantas av allt det som ett vanligt liv kan bestå av. Flera av kapitlen är mästerliga medans andra är ganska slätstrukna och saknar inspiration och glöd. Helt klart en läsvärd bok om livet.
