The World Below

Spisovatel: Miller Sue, Bloomsbury 2001
Katalogové číslo: E8147

Cath Hubbard, a San Francisco woman in her 50s, returns to her grandmother's small Vermont house after the death of an aunt who left the property to Cath and her brother Lawrence. Cath had lived with her grandparents for a few years in her teens, after her mother's suicide, and now makes her wounded way back, in the wake of a divorce, to sort through her memories of her beloved grandmother, Georgia. This is the standard fare of American literary fiction: a life change prompting a search into the past. What is far less ordinary is Miller's placid, nuanced depiction of her protagonist's emotional journey. None of Cath's feelings can be easily predicted by the reader, but all of them ring true. She finds her grandmother's diary and begins to fill in the stories that Georgia had hinted at over the years. What Cath discovers in her grandmother's journal is a secret that has lost its power to shock; and that very wearing away of taboo adds to the poignancy of Georgia's restricted life. Her story unfolds against a backdrop of Cath's more immediate griefs and concerns and begins to recede as Cath's San Francisco life returns to claim her. Miller's prose appears effortless, but is like the gestures of a magician that conceal how the trick is accomplished. The result is a sage, continually surprising novel about finding peace of mind in a combination of habit, love, and self-determination.... v angličtine, brožovaná, 275 strán

Blood country

Spisovatel: Ruff Ivan, Heinemann Ltd 1988
Katalogové číslo: G4727

This suspenseful thriller, set in the English moor country, revolves around the arrival of a fugitive who warns of a threat of nuclear terrorism and a possible plot to establish a police state--a tale that seems incredible until events at the local nuclear reactor plant seem to bear him out. Added to all this is a triangular romance between the hunted man and a local naturalist and his girlfriend, as well as loving and beautiful descriptions of the moor and its birds and plants. This otherwise exciting novel is burdened with some gratuitous and graphic sex scenes that add nothing to the story....tvrdá väzba, obal, 280 strán
