内容説明
The events of Pietro Russell’s life are told in 26 chapters. From A-Z each chapter is set in a different place and reveals a fragment of his story. As his memories flicker back and forth through time in his search for a resolution to the conflicts of his life, his story gradually unfolds.
From Publishers Weekly
Pietro Russell, the protagonist of this moving, inventive and luminous novel, is an English traveling photographer whose assignments take him from Hong Kong to Ibiza, Jerusalem, Paris and Sarajevo. Arranging the 26 chapters alphabetically by place name, and jumping around chronologically as well as geographically, Faulks ( A Trick of the Light ) creates a prismatic effect, illuminating from many angles his restless hero's inner turmoil and search for self. Son of an Italian mother and a British soldier wounded during WW II, Pietro struggles to come to terms with his mother's death from cancer. We travel with him to Vermont, where he frantically pursues his American high school classmate Laura; to the balmy California coast, scene of their painful breakup; to Oxford where, as a lab assistant, he undergoes therapy with a female psychiatrist who helps him overcome agoraphobia, insomnia and depression. In the unconditional love of his Dutch-Belgian wife Hannah and their children, Pietro at last achieves an emotional anchorage. Faulks, a former literary editor of the English newspaper the Independent , has written a wonderfuly insightful book that reverberates with epiphanies large and small, a celebration of life in all its beauty and tragic brevity.

A beautifully written moving book. The alphabet is a great idea and the characters are likeable whilst remaining realistic and the ending is very clever.
