Prisoners
ISBN: 9781880684719 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych (Bez gwarancji dostawy przed świętami) Central to Wayne Karlin's novel Prisoners is the story of Kiet, a runaway teenage orphan from Vietnam who is seeking her Black father and whose flight impinges upon the lives of several other characters, many of them Vietnam War veterans. The drama of the interlinking stories illuminates the "seepage of history" and examines the "crimes of war and family and skin" in the Tidewater region in Maryland. Karlin unpeels their histories like an onion, layer after layer, until the violent climax, and a denouement that offers understanding, hope, and reconciliation.
