Produktinformationen zu „Shooting Angels “
Somehow the famous businessman Joe Angel had found Charlie Croker in the backwater, arrived unannounced with an envelope full of money and gave him a message: come back to the capital to learn what really happened to the woman he loved on that terrible night decades before. At first, Charlie is furious, but by the time Charlie returns to the city, Joe is dead. After a lifetime trying to forget, Charlie realizes that there can finally be a reckoning with those he loved and those he betrayed, and the guilt that has been suffocating him.

Rezension zu „Shooting Angels “
'A brilliant, compelling novel about innocence and betrayal.' Kate Saunders, The Times 'It might seem fanciful to call Christopher Hope the South African Evelyn Waugh, but there is something in the comparison... Beautifully paced, elegantly written, witty, moving and provocative.' Andrew van der Vlies, TLS 'Shooting Angels is a mordant coming-of-age novel, a political novel, and a savage portrait of Joe Angel, whose gift for survival in the shifting sands of post-apartheid South Africa, and whose rage for control, are breathtaking to the very end.' Jay Parini, Guardian 'Hope's latest offering is an enticing one, beautifully written... It draws us in and keeps us guessing.' Karen Funnell, Irish Examiner
