  Terzo e per ora ultimo, ma, almeno a occhio, altre puntate seguiranno. Inizio folgorante, costruzione su piani temporali diversi ben condotta, ottimo uso della lingua (la lettura in originale, in questo senso, è consigliata). In più, il consueto gioco dei punti di vista, la già vista maestria nel reggere e condurre i diversi fili della trama. Probabilmente la Atkinson ha trovato un filone dalle uova d'oro, ma per ora lo usa con moderazione, senza strafare nel main stream. Da tenere d'occhio.

  I have been hooked on Kate Atkinson, since I first came across her work in "Case Histories", also the first outing for Jackson Brodie, one of her unlikely heroes. This is the third novel in which Brodie appears and the second in which his love interest, Louise Monroe, features. I do so hope it isn't the last.

  This book is a joy to read, is multi-faceted and multi-layered, while being several intelligent steps above many in the crime genre, or many other of the categories into which it would fit. The book has justly been awarded Richard and Judy's "Best Read of the Year" in the British Book Awards 2009, no mean feat given some of the other contenders.

  If you've read Kate Atkinson before, you'll know what a treat you have in store. If you haven't, I can't recommend her highly enough.
