Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Romek and Zofia are trying to rebuild a life together, liberated from the shadow of the concentration camps. Merle Shanahan tiptoes around the volatile moods of her husband Miles. Mr Giancarlo, the aging patriarch, watches over the lives of his enormous family. Mr Sommers sits in silence on his verandah, smoking his pipe and remembering the Great War. Weintraub the communist sits in the bar and drinks whisky, all the while singing the Internationale under his breath. And Josh, Romek's twelve year old son, avoids local bullies, reads Jack London and tries to understand the world around him. In the inner Melbourne suburb of Carlton in the 1950s half a dozen families are struggling to survive and begin new lives. With the same keen eye for the power of migrant stories he displayed in Cafi Scheherazade and The Fig Tree Arnold Zable recreates a lost world and traces the paths of these lives. Scraps of Heaven is a meditation on and a celebration of the tales that form us, and it affirms Arnold Zable's status as a master storyteller. It's 1958 and Australia is becoming a different place. The Melbourne working-class suburb of Carlton is now home to many immigrant families trying to begin new lives and make sense of the old. This is a stunning evocation of a changing world, where optimism is tinged with sorrow at the raw memories of war. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781920885922
