ISBN: 9780987435118
Conditie: Beetje gebruikt
In 1928 Sydney, Australia, an Irish school girl finds new hope, after polio and personal tragedy, while playing cello in a string quartet.
''"… if there has been a more brilliant novel produced on this soil I haven't read it." - Dr Susan Moore, The Catholic Weekly
"beautiful and poignant", "graphic and colourful", "a marvellous premiere" - Christine McCarthy
"The author's … love for and extensive knowledge of music, fine arts and literature shines through" ... "The landscapes are vast and vivid, the seasons sensory and real, and the emotional journey heart-wrenching." ... "some of the most profound considerations on the meaning of suffering and understanding others, making allowances for their faults" - GoodReadingGuide.com
Back cover synopsis:
Australia promised a fresh start for Lucy Straughan and her father when they fled war-torn Ireland. Instead, Lucy was stricken by polio.
Having mastered the cello during her prolonged confinement, Lucy is now fifteen, lonely and full of questions. Suddenly she is thrust into a string quartet and meets quixotic Della Sotheby, hot-headed Pim Connolly and precocious Phoebe Raye. The experience transforms each of their lives as they forge friendships and share not a few family secrets.
Set against the vivid background of 1920s Sydney, A Distant Prospect is an intimate, hilarious and ultimately deeply moving coming-of-age adventure told with a touch of poetry by a quintessentially Irish narrator.
