's it, finally! Doris Lessing, after decades of writing and an impressive bibliography, finally receives the Nobel Prize, which has so often narguée. A birth in Persia, a life strewn with struggles and speeches against colonialism, apartheid, a passage by the communist party ... in short, a life of questions, revolution, mysticism sometimes that transpire in his work regularly.
And it is with this novel, probably not very representative, as I discovered today. A love child addresses the disappointments, the war can be so absurd, waiting, empty, fleeting but passionate love, vain hopes, the spiral of a life uncontrolled one we would take reins without ever really succeeding.
1939. James Reid, a young Englishman of modest but cultured and sensitive loads to India to Some of the troops designed to punish the Japanese invasion and maintain the heritage of the British Empire. Long "voyage" pain in unbearable living conditions, interrupted by a stopover in Cape Town, where the sailors will be borne by the wives of the local military. James, housed and fed by Daphne Wright believes to find in her the embodiment of true love and intense as expected by the romantic spirit. Brief but passionate liaison, which keeps a memory James distraught and irrational, always stirred by the hope of finding her one day, the woman who made him stunned adoration.
If background reflections on the living conditions of seafarers, the nonsense and materialism interested in the war on utopia and blind love, are interesting, they are nevertheless addressed to me with a pen lisse.Sans little too no doubt, to know her better, I must he read The Book of Gold, a novel precursor of a great and long career, certainly of quality.
