Description
En una narración tan seductora y misteriosa como el recuerdo en sí, ensombrecido y luminoso a la vez, leemos la historia de Nathaniel, de catorce años, y su hermana mayor, Rachel. En 1945, justo después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, se quedan en Londres cuando sus padres se mudan a Singapur, dejándolos al cuidado de una misteriosa figura llamada The Moth. Sospechan que podría ser un criminal, y se vuelven más convencidos y menos preocupados a medida que conocen a su excéntrica tripulación de amigos: hombres y mujeres unidos por una historia compartida de servicio no especificado durante la guerra, todos los cuales parecen, en algunos manera, decidida ahora a proteger y educar (de manera bastante inusual) a Rachel y Nathaniel. ÅPero son realmente qué y quién dicen ser? ÅY qué significa cuando la madre de los hermanos regresa después de meses de silencio sin su padre, sin explicar nada ni excusar nada? Una docena de años después, Nathaniel comienza a descubrir todo lo que no sabía y entendió en ese momento, y es este viaje, a través de hechos, recuerdos e imaginación.
Description
"In a narrative as beguiling and mysterious as memory itself-shadowed and luminous at once--we read the story of fourteen-year-old Nathaniel, and his older sister, Rachel. In 1945, just after World War II, they stay behind in London when their parents move to Singapore, leaving them in the care of a mysterious figure named The Moth. They suspect he might be a criminal, and they grow both more convinced and less concerned as they come to know his eccentric crew of friends: men and women joined by a shared history of unspecified service during the war, all of whom seem, in some way, determined now to protect, and educate (in rather unusual ways) Rachel and Nathaniel. But are they really what and who they claim to be? And what does it mean when the siblings' mother returns after months of silence without their father, explaining nothing, excusing nothing? A dozen years later, Nathaniel begins to uncover all that he didn't know and understand in that time, and it is this journey--through facts, recollection, and imagination--that he narrates in this masterwork from one of the great writers of our time."--,Publisher's description.
