Riassunto

Anthony is a British journalist whose American wife, Lucy, has suddenly died. Grieving and haunted, he becomes obsessed with her youth and the years before he met her. To find out more, he travels to a remote part of the Nevada desert to meet Lucy's first husband. Their bizarre encounter, with its violent climax, marks the beginning of a journey that takes him across the world, to the edge of madness and into the darkest corners of the human heart. It is a journey in which he is hunted, haunted, never at peace, and never far from the woman he still loves.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

"Spare, lyrical, and urgent...Dibdin's compelling novel examines love, grief, erotic obsession, and the tyranny of the past...It has the pace and tempo of a thriller, but its concerns are the enduring aspects of life and death, not its bloody finish. It even allows room for jokes. [Thanksgiving is] a marvelous, unexpected novel that delivers satisfaction hot on the heels of its surprises.

L'autore:

Michael Dibdin is the author of thirteen previous novels. A native of England, he now lives in Seattle, Washington, with his wife, the mystery writer Katherine Beck.
