Rainham and Queenborough Visits

I left home at eight to catch the short train ride to Rainham end of Medway.

The morning was fresh and very much like a mid spring day when i popped over to Rainham to do the security visit. The rest of the day, after midday, was very blustery and dull, especially on the island when i did my other visit at Quennborough.

Book 76 - Andreï Makine "The Woman Who Waited"

Andreï Makine "The Woman Who Waited" (Sceptre)





At the risk of appearing too abstract, I feel like I want to compare this small novel to a piece of music, with two distinct movements - melancholic ruminations of an ex-dissident of a crumbled Soviet empire and puzzlement over a woman's unending wait for a soldier who is not coming back. And though the movements repeat themselves in different forms, they never actually feel "repetitive". The merciless, self-deprecating frankness of the protagonist, the culmination of the story that is so unexpected and predictable at the same time... A very good read.

Answer for question 4575.

[Error: unknown template qotd]Depends what it is. A bookcase from IKEA is no problem , nor a Lego toy if i was so inclined, but otherwise i prefer it ready built.
