( ) Daughter takes a year of art appreciation college prep classes in Italy lured there by a mystery man. plot seemed a trifle forced. I enjoyed the dynamics of the relationship between the two young girls and in a ho hum way endured the doomed love between young idealists who wanted a better world. Book dragged terribly at the end. Dit is het derde boek in de serie over commissaris Alessandro Pallioti en inspecteur Enzo Saenz (het eerste deel is niet vertaald UZR, het tweede deel was Villa Triste). Ook dit boek speelt zich deels af in het heden en het verleden. Mixte deel 2 WOII met het heden, in De verloren dochter wordt de tijd van de opkomt van de Rode Brigade en de ontvoering van en de moord op Aldo Moro met het heden vermengd. Echt weer een heerlijk boek om te lezen. En en passant nog wat van de geschiedenis van Italië te leren. Het draait vooral om de liefde tussen Angela en Antonio en hoe het heden onlosmakelijk is verweven met wat er in het verleden is gebeurd.
Lucretia Grindle is an ambitious writer. Her novel The Villa Triste expanded a boy-girl romance into a vision of Italian resistance during the Second World War. Now she turns her attention to the 1970s, era of the Red Brigades' terrorist attacks in Italy, and their infamous acts of kidnapping and murder. Having convincingly negotiated this marriage of fact and fiction, the story returns to the present-day kidnapping. Here the suspense is cleverly increased with an extra turn of the screw involving a determined woman lawyer, a long-time friend of Angela's. Grindle throws in bags of atmosphere with her loving descriptions of life in an Italy undergoing painful social upheaval Pertenece a las series
From Lucretia Grindle, author of Villa Triste, comes a novel of lives lost and found, as intricate and mysterious as the Italian streets where the story's secrets begin. When American student Kristin Carson enrolls in a study abroad program in Florence, she's sure it will be the best year of her life, a chance to explore art, poetry, and romance in the arms of her new Italian boyfriend. But days before her parents arrive in Florence to celebrate her eighteenth birthday, Kristin disappears. Senior Detective Alessandro Pallioti and his young protv©gv© Enzo Saenz are called to investigate. At first they believe she's simply run off for a romantic weekend and forgotten to tell her parents. But when Kristin's step-mother, Anna, also goes missing, Pallioti and Saenz suspect something much more sinister has happened. As they deepen their investigation they discover that Anna Carson is not who she appears to be, and Kristin's new boyfriend isn't just another local Lothario, but one of the most infamous-and dangerous-men in Italy. To find Kristin, Pallioti and Saenz must first find Anna and uncover the secrets she's kept buried for a lifetime. To do so, they must wade through the past, revisiting times and places most Italians would rather forget, and walk in the footsteps of the dead. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
