Although labeled "historic fiction," The Flamboyant deals more with the life of Lenora Demarest than on the history of the era (perhaps there should be a biographical fiction genre). Lenora's story unfortunately just isn't very interesting. Carson writes the novel as if she is referring to notes that she has taken and is afraid to abandon, so many irrelevant and disconnected parts of Lenora's life are presented. The book reads like a photo album with a snapshot from different times without a story to bring those individual pictures into a coherent whole. This novel is also frustrating to read because of the numerous sentence fragments. Skip this one. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In the tradition of Beryl Markham's West with the Night, The Flamboyant tells the story of Lenora Demarest, a strong-willed, soft-spoken American beauty intent on becoming the first aviatrix in her adopted country of Puerto Rico. Born in 1900, on the cusp of divergent eras, Lenora epitomises the glamorous, wealthy, adventurous women of the 1920s and 1930s who balanced romantic, Victorian sensibilities with decidedly modern forays into traditionally male arenas. When an affair with a dashing aviator and friendship with the spirited Amelia Earhart awaken her passion for flying, Lenora - captivated by two cultures and loved by two men - finds herself on an exhilarating path towards independence. Set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial politics, The Flamboyant pays tribute to a woman generations ahead of her time. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
