His best novel (so far!),
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The love test (Paperback)
Why Hamilton's novel can be found in Chinese but not in English is beyond me. He evokes the GDR and its cumbersome terror lightly but powerfully in his account of a young woman enamored of her married lover, and her fate after they conceive a child.Hamilton's themes--in his other two German-based novels, in his Coyne thrillers, and in his autobiographical "The Speckled People" emerge here in their most concentrated fictional essence. The wish for comfort amidst desolation, and affection in a landscape of oppression, find expression truthfully and eloquently. Hunt down this book and read it slowly. Pass it on. |
