Stephen Lewis, un joven y renombrado autor de libros infantiles, vive en Londres con su mujer Julie y su hija Kate, de tres años, y participa con un escepticismo a la vez resignado y divertido en las reuniones de una comisión gubernamental sobre la educación de los niños. Los Lewis parecen componer la tÃpica familia feliz, pero un dÃa Stephen va al supermercado con la niña, la cual desaparece de improviso: éste es el dramático punto de partida de esta extraordinaria novela. ( )
A Child in Time is rather a silly novel. It can take a while to notice this because its brilliance and extraordinary intensity have a hypnotic effect. Like Ernst and Magritte, McEwen has the Surrealist knack of making the world gleam with a light that never was on land or sea. He can also be extremely funny.

HTML:A child's abduction sends a father reeling in this Whitbread Award-winning novel that explores time and loss with "narrative daring and imaginative genius" (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). Stephen Lewis, a successful author of children's books, is on a routine trip to the supermarket with his three-year-old daughter. In a brief moment of distraction, she suddenly vanishesâ??and is irretrievably lost. From that moment, Lewis spirals into bereavement that effects his marriage, his psyche, and his relationship with time itself: "It was a wonder that there could be so much movement, so much purpose, all the time. He himself had none at all." In The Child in Time, acclaimed author Ian McEwan "sets a story of domestic horror against a disorienting exploration in time" producing "a work of remarkable intellectual and political sophistication" that has been adapted into a PBS Masterpiece movie starring Benedict Cumberbatch (Kirkus Reviews, starred review). "A beautifully rendered, very disturbing novel." â??Publishers Weekly No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
