Rezension: Kate Atkinson: “Life After Life”
This novel is constantly acute and real and touching about familial and (especially) sibling love. Impressively – and unusually – some of her most engaging and best-realised characters are the good, kind, decent ones.
Rezension: Ian McEwan: “Sweet Tooth”
McEwan’s latest novel may be set in 1972, with the cold war shuffling through its final lacklustre phase, but it could not be more different in tone or intent from “The Innocent”. Where that novel felt stark and dirty, “Sweet Tooth” is playful, comic, preposterous.
