'Has all the hallmarks of a classic summer read' The Times Anna's friends and family think she is living the dream in her beautiful finca under the Spanish sun. But the reality is far from perfect. The handsome, complicated man she was building a life with has left with little more than a note to say goodbye and the future she imagined has crashed around her ears. Anna has secretly embarked on an ill-advised affair and lives above the dingy bar she runs in the sleepy beach town of Marea, surrounded by British expats as homesick and stuck as she is. When Simon, a local businessman, offers to rent the finca, Anna hopes it will pave the way for her escape. But there is more to him than meets the eye, and when a body washes up on the beach in mysterious circumstances, Anna realizes she may be the only one with the power to unravel the truth. But how can she prove that Simon is connected, and how can she reclaim her house? Anna is prepared to risk everything to get home - even though she's no longer sure where home really is. Urgent, gripping and brilliantly observed, Under the Sun by Lottie Moggach is an exhilarating novel about heartbreak, identity, migration and finding a place to call home.
Le informazioni nella sezione "Riassunto" possono far riferimento a edizioni diverse di questo titolo.
In her beautifully written novel, Lottie Moggach gives rare insights into human relationships and the appalling things we can do to each other. Subtle, insightful and utterly compelling (Rosamund Lupton, bestselling author of SISTER)
Brilliantly atmospheric and creepy . . . I loved the heat of it, the writing, and the pulse of disappointment and hope. It's very, very clever (Sabine Durant, author of Lie With Me)
Under the Sun has all the hallmarks of a classic summer read . . . the pages fly by . . . Moggach’s readers will relish the sparkle of a perfect summer story that is intelligent, steamy and has great interiors (The Times)
Gripping and intense, it’s a great read (Best)
A beautifully observed, enthralling read (Woman & Home)
A brilliantly atmospheric, claustrophobic look at heartbreak, identity and the notion of home. (The Pool)
A must-have summer accessory. The way Moggach shoes the extent to which the British expat dream lives cheek by jowl with a burgeoning migrant crisis makes this a superior thriller. Surely a contender for read of the summer. A lushly written novel that combines a smouldering plot with impressive nuance. (The Metro)
The scope of this is ambitious ― what begins as a universal story about a love affair gone sour quickly becomes something much more political, a searching social commentary about displacement and institutional racism. Moggach’s setting, much like the work of Man Booker-nominated Deborah Levy, allows her to explore how behaviour can change abroad ― in this case, how the British community views itself and others ... what, if anything, separates the definition of expats from that of immigrants ... A reminder that this is a true reflection of poverty in a post-recession world, of hopes dashed and borders tightened. (Financial Times)
Moggach lets rip a tale that is gripping and conscientiously attuned to the queasy dynamic between expats and immigrants in a place where everyone is “learning to live somewhere between the life [they] wanted and the one [they] have. (Sunday Times)
An enjoyable, well-observed book, and Moggach’s description of a dying love affair is particularly effective. (Mail on Sunday)
The timely and unputdownable new novel from the acclaimed author of Kiss Me First.
