This was hugely disappointing, especially since Winslow in Love is the best book I've read this year. Too much was taken for granted. The characters are said to love and hate and resent one another, but they just aren't substantial enough for these exaggerated emotions to be credible or engaging. Canty is brilliant at exploring the exquisite tragedy of wasted lives and epic failure, but neither the characters (nor the writing) were more than reckless. ( ) Op een besneeuwde bergweg in Montana stuit Marvin Deernose, die na een periode van drank en drugs zijn leven weer op orde probeert te krijgen, op een aangereden paard en een van de weg geraakte auto met een zwaargewonde man erin. Enige tijd later ontmoet Marvin de kleindochter van de man wiens leven hij heeft gered. Justine Gallego is haar wankele huwelijk en de herinnering, aan haar dode zoontje ontvlucht om haar grootvader bij te staan. Een aarzelende verhouding is het gevolg. Maar die wordt, nog, afgezien van hun eigen reserves, door hun omgeving niet geaccepteerd. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
