This book was very well-written and pretty interesting, if only a look into a fictional relationship between two people and the families that surround them. I believe I got it for free, but I actually enjoyed reading it and read it rather quickly. ( ) Panayotis Cacoyannis has written a third book, Polk, Harper & Who. Not only is the writing completely mesmerizing, the story engages the reader from the beginning until the end. Adam and Eva, (love that), live a charmed life in London. That charmed life may come to a sudden halt when the doorbell rings, Dingo the dog, barking like a madman; and two police are in the apartment. Full of fine character studies, from Eva to her "mother", to her unassuming father, the author is a master. A childhood friendship with Karen is sharply and finely drawn, mostly through the use of dialogue. A true love story at its heart, Polk, Harper & Who takes the reader on a symbiotic journey through two lives that come together in spite of very complicated pasts. Highly recommend for an inspirational and timely novel that examines the interplay of several different lives. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension
Another side of London...After ten years together, including some difficult times, Adam and Eva are still as in love as they were when they told each other every day that they loved each other every day more.All-round adorable Adam - adopted, mixed-race, with a deep social conscience that he shares with his wife - claims to have no issues other than having no issues. Raised by remarkable parents, he has grown up happy and grounded, uninterested in his "other parents" or in why they might have had to give him up. Having lost her father at fifteen, and still suffering a terrible relationship with "mother", Eva has more issues than she cares to admit, and it falls to an unexpected visit by two policemen to uncover a secret she has kept from her husband since the first day they met. With the past at last explained, and the worst of it now apparently behind them, today has been a day of good news, which Eva is looking forward to sharing with the friends who have invited them to dinner. But their hosts seem to have very different plans for the evening, and the air is thick with tension as gradually the reason for their invitation begins to come out...Its satirical humor sometimes black and irreverent, POLK, HARPER & WHO is a contemporary tale of complex family relationships, of friendships being put to the test, and of imperfect London love within imperfect London lives.
