Пра гэту электронную кнігу
An emotional gulf forms between a young Jewish barrister and his father in a "wise, beautifully controlled and deeply moving novel" set in prewar England ( The New York Times Book Review).
The scion of a wealthy Anglo-Jewish family, Charles March, is expected to fulfill the ambitions his father has for him. The young man, a friend of Lewis Eliot, shows great promise as a barrister. But an abrupt career change—and marriage to a woman deemed both unworthy and untrustworthy—drives a wedge between father and son, ultimately putting the family's good name at risk.
"Snow is rare among contemporary novelists in the quiet conviction with which he expresses love between brother and sister, son and father, husband and wife." — The New York Times Book Review
"Leisurely, intelligent and incisive." — Kirkus Reviews
"Together, the [Strangers and Brothers] sequence presents a vivid portrait of British academic, political and public life." —Jeffrey Archer, The Guardian
