Articoli correlati a At Home With Miss Vanesa
The returnees are making a new life on a Caribbean island they call home. After all their time in London, Boston, and Paris, their birthplace now presents something of a challenge. But when Miss Vanesa's artistic club meets on the narrative verandah there's seduction and sardines, Jacuzzis and world affairs to keep them busy. Nora, Fred, and Vanessa like to discuss the foolishness of men and draft letters to exclude undesirables. They ponder Arwell's dreams of a perfect marriage to Condoleeza Rice?is this the explanation for his sudden interest in classical music? And they ask how can Russell Trajan be so half-witted as to land up on a beach in Guadeloupe, then Antigua, to miss his father's funeral on another island. These playful, meandering perspectives guide the reader in a virtuous circle of traveling and visiting, hosting and being a guest.
