Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - If you enjoyed The Queen's Gambit, the chances are you'll enjoy this story of love and identity, shaped by the game of chess.Set, for the greater part, in Manhattan and Nottingham, En Passant recounts two love stories, twenty years apart, connected by the life of Ian Stringfellow.The stories are narrated by Helen Painter, a fictional author who, inspired by a holiday in New York, her academic studies and her love of chess, reflects on some big issues, including social justice, sexual identity, suicide, and the Jewish-Palestinian conflict. The narrative also takes the reader to London, Auschwitz, Paris and Israel, on a journey which will ultimately determine the romantic destinies both of Ian and Rebekah, in the first half of the novel, and of Adam and Rowan in the second half. Ultimately, through the many different human connections in En Passant, the reader is prompted to reflect on whether it's irony or love which underpins our universe.…

Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Seiten: 576 | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | 'When Glass Breaks' is the heart-rending story of Ben Lindenheim, who became separated from his older brother during the Kindertransport, and who lived a life of heroism, trauma, adventure, love, denial, illness, family, failure and lies, but always in the hope of one day being reunited with his brother.Only at the end, does the reader discover the novel is narrated by Helen Painter, as she seeks to piece together fragments of her father's past, most of which he tried to conceal from his family. She knew only that he had a war pension due to a shrapnel injury - he had a scar; that he fought with the Royal Norfolk regiment - or so he said; that he was an army boxing champion - impossible to check out; that he spent a couple of years in South Africa - which may have been true as there were two African-language books on the bookshelves at home; that he was educated at Winchester - but he knew no Latin or Greek; that his family were killed in the Blitz, with one brother dying in North Africa, and which may have included a baby son - something his post-stroke lability let slip; and that he was Jewish - which she knew from her own DNA test, taken long after he died. Nothing much checked out and the family history searches revealed no mention of the surname before his marriage certificate. So, she filled in the blanks, and gave him a past, one which would honour the father with whom she had shared a difficult relationship, largely, she came to acknowledge, due to the psychological scars he bore.¿Anyone who has read 'En Passant' will have become acquainted with Saul Lindenheim, a minor character who has lived for many years with the guilt of being separated from his brother Ben during the Kindertransport and the hope of one day being reunited. 'When Glass Breaks' is the story of Ben's life. …
