  • "Was mich interessiert, ist das Gedächtnis, die Art und Weise, wie Menschen und Landschaften aus Erinnerungen zusammengesetzt sind. Penelope Lively Nach dem Tod seiner bildschönen Frau findet Glyn ein altes Photo von ihr, auf dem sie mit einem anderen Mann Händchen hält. Wann und wo wurde das Photo gemacht? Dieser Nachweis der Untreue - für lange Jahre versteckt - lässt Glyn nicht ruhen. Ganze Lebensentwürfe gehen bei seinen Nachforschungen in die Brüche. Kann er die Wahrheit über Kath herausfinden? Penelope Lively entwickelt hier mit wunderbarer Leichtigkeit das Bild einer Frau, die ganz anders war, als ihr Mann ein Leben lang dachte. Der neue Roman der "Booker"--Preisträgerin: klug und mit feinstem englischen Humor. "Penelope Lively ist eine Erzählerin der leisen Töne. Ihre Sprache und der Rhythmus ihrer Sätze sind geschmeidig, zuweilen kühl, zuweilen ironisch, oft warmherzig." Frankfurter Allgemeine "Faszinierend ist, wie Booker-Preisträgerin Penelope Lively in ihrem neuen Roman DAS PHOTO aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven ein Bild der Verstorbenen entstehen lässt und gleichzeitig in die Gedanken der Beteiligten schlüpft und sie charaktersiert. (...) DAS PHOTO ist durch seine Vielzahl an Sichtweisen, an Gedanken, an Gefühlen ein abwechslungsreicher, stets gefühlvoller, inniger Roman über die Suche nach der wahren Vergangenheit." Österreich "Eine wunderbare Geschichte der mit dem Booker-Prize ausgezeichneten Penelope Lively über die Kurzlebigkeit der Liebe" Maxi"
