Présentation de l'éditeur

"A disturbing and memorable novel, in which public happenings and private thoughts and relationships are relentlessly intertwined -- the best kind of novel."- The Globe and Mail

"Not a book the reader is likely to forget, Out of This World--deserves to be ranked at the forefront of contemporary fiction." - The New York Times Book Review

"In unravelling the unhappy lives of members of the Beech family, the grandfather a war hero, the son a celebrated photo-journalist, the granddaughter estranged and undergoing analysis, the plot embraces the history of this century's warfare and the attempts of individuals to escape the legacy of their past.... A moving and painful saga." - Sunday Times (U.K.)
