Divisadero
Michael Ondaatje
Synopsis "Divisadero"
Tras El paciente inglés, Ondaatje reafirma en Divisadero su extraordinaria capacidad para moverse en el difícil terreno de los sentimientos y para tratar las pasiones, las pérdidas y la persistencia del pasado. Un relato de inusual intensidad y belleza. En la más íntima y hermosa de sus historias, Michael Ondaatje narra la vida de Anna, quien tras un brutal suceso acontecido en su hogar, tendrá que dejar atrás la vida en la granja de California y empezar un nuevo camino en el sur de Francia. Lejos de su padre, de su gemela Claire y de Coop -un misterioso muchacho acogido por la familia- encontrará en la literatura y en la reconstrucción de la biografía de un importante escritor la manera de conciliarse con su pasado.ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONFrom the celebrated author of The English Patient and Anil's Ghost comes a remarkable, intimate novel of intersecting lives that ranges across continents and time. In the 1970s in Northern California a father and his teenage daughters, Anna and Claire, work their farm with the help of Coop, an enigmatic young man who makes his home with them. Theirs is a makeshift family, until it is shattered by an incident of violence that sets fire to the rest of their lives. Divisadero takes us from San Francisco to the raucous backrooms of Nevada's casinos and eventually to the landscape of southern France. As the narrative moves back and forth through time and place, we find each of the characters trying to find some foothold in a present shadowed by the past.
