Quatrième de couverture
From the author of the critically acclaimed Pinkerton's Sister comes volume two of this extraordinary sequence of novels: A Dead Language
Benjamin Franklin Pinkerton - the faithless young naval lieutenant who abandons Madam Butterfly - was glimpsed fleetingly in Peter Rushforth's previous novel, Pinkerton's Sister. Now Ben steps out of the shadows and into the centre of the stage, a young man haunted by the desolation of his boyhood years, unable to show or respond to love. He's about to sail for Japan. But his imminent departure conjures up the life he and his sister have led, and the monstrous act for which he is most remembered: the rejection and destruction of a pure and loving heart. What happened to him then will mark his whole life. He is his own man, but he is also his sister's brother.
Once again, in his mastery of language, his extraordinary imagination, his superb sense of time and place, Peter Rushforth has given the world a second masterpiece, ranking alongside, or surpassing, his earlier triumph.
Praise for Pinkerton's Sister
'A hugely impressive achievement…I am quite awed by it' Margaret Forster
'A disturbing, brilliant and rewarding read' Independent
'A masterful evocation of the entombment of an intelligent woman's mind and body… worthy of Henry James' Washington Post
'A treasure trove of a novel, complex, rich and satisfying' Susan Hill
