ROMAN
From Lionel Shriver - Belfond editions - 2010 - 445 pages.
One night in New York during an impromptu tennis match, Willy meets Eric. She is professional player, swinging and catchy, but it is amazingly gifted amateur tennis player. Between them is the thunderbolt. They marry. And the trouble starts.
I confess that I struggled to get into this novel, the story initially seems simple. The writing "very descriptive" Lionel Shriver, was a bit "put off". For this face to face in love in the middle of the tennis is slowly starting off ...
For heroin, the encounter with Eric a man she knows nothing will shock! With this little helping hand from fate, she will quickly realize that the time has come for a fresh start. ..
But power and ambition that prevail in the couple, will gradually destroy everything, giving way somehow to the "gender wars. The unspoken resentments emerge and convent, add this: the bickering, quips and settlement of accounts and you are witness to the slow but inexorable breakdown of the couple.
A clever romantic and literary construction makes this relationship, a novel in which the desire and passion is gradually transformed into "marital poison." Lionel Shriver revisit codes of marriage and shows without some talent, that behind the appearances, behind the first flames of love are woven of the deaf and sordid conspiracies. An uncompromising story where at the end of the book, the heroine will be a crucial choice to make.
Thank editions Belfond and Blog-O-Book for friendly partnership.
