Echoes Of War Riviere, William
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
William Riviere was born in 1954 and brought up in Norfolk. After leaving Cambridge, he spent several years in Venice, and later worked in Japan and travelled extensively around the Far East. He is married to a painter, and teaches at the University of Urbino in Italy.
English-born, Italian resident Rivire (Eros and Psyche, 1995) spins a thick family-saga that spans the decades between the two world wars, and follows the losses, loves, hopes, and histories of various branches of the Lammas family. An unhurried narrative style gives Rivire the chance to lavish great quantities of prose on the features of the English land- and sea-scape, and upon finely minor incidents. The memory of a young man lost to war, and the dread of war among those still living, decisively stamps the Lammas family, and ultimately leaves none of their lives untouched. With its leisurely exploration of the generational permutations of loss and fear, this story makes its point with variations that may seem too many and too subtle for patience. Yet the writing rarely sags, and will surely be enjoyed by fans of R.F. Delderfield and Colleen McCullough. For those with an undiminished appetite for extended historical fiction. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
