A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Enthralling and powerful" (The Times)

"This is a confident and poignant novel and succeeds in animating a set of people rarely seen in literary fiction" (Guardian)

"A rare and remarkable achievement" (Los Angeles Times)

"Destined to be a classic" (Melbourne Herald Sun)

"The Sound of One Hand Clapping achieves the difficult task of making clear and real the lives of those who normally stay hidden in history. From its wonderfully atmospheric opening to its touching conclusion, this is a heartbreaking story" (Literary Review)

Présentation de l'éditeur

FROM THE WINNER OF THE MAN BOOKER PRIZE 2014

In the winter of 1954, in a construction camp in the remote Tasmanian highlands, when Sonja Buloh was three years old and her father was drinking too much, her mother disappeared into a blizzard never to return.

Thirty-five years later, Sonja returns to the place of her childhood to visit her drunkard father. The shadows of the past begin to intrude ever more forcefully into the present, changing forever his living death and her ordered life.
