The Falling Thread
批評家のレビュー
"An elegant, enthralling novel. I found I couldn't stop reading this intimiste epic of social change in the years leading up to the First World War. It has the lustre of life, beautiful and poignant." (Adam Foulds)
"Super-assured.... Wholly convincing lives, described and written with great limpid precision of language." (William Boyd)
"A wonderful evocation of period - through language, clothes, objects - any reader will be irresistibly transported to Manchester and the lives of this strange Edwardian family." (Tim Pears)
あらすじ・解説
Bloomsbury presents The Falling Thread by Adam O'Riordan, read by Anna Krippa.
Manchester, the summer of 1890. A city humming with industry and gleaming with affluence.
But for Charles, cloistered in his middle-class parents' suburban villa on holiday from university, the city's vibrancy holds no charms. Bored and a little listless, he spends the summer in pursuit of his little sisters' governess, Hettie. Before the summer's end, both must face the consequences of their affair - consequences they will live with for the rest of their lives.
Charles' sisters come of age as women of the new century - and experience a very different Manchester from their brother and guardian. In the smog and glitter of the city, both sisters will discover the very different things they seek and the very different women they will become. But as a new era springs into being, a darker shadow stretches, threatening to engulf the whole world....
A captivating portrait of a family in time, The Falling Thread is a hauntingly evocative debut from one of our most exciting literary talents.
