Отзывы
A House for Mr Biswas
Книга не смотря на внутшительный размер (700 стр.) читается взахлеб. Мне книга немного напомнила Сто лет одиночества: некоторое отчуждение не смотря на постоянную окруженность людьми. Также когда следишь за жизнью главного героя невольно приходит в голову мысль что "у меня также", и наверное "у всех также". Не знаю на сколько это полезный отзыв, просто не хочется спойлерить :) Очень рекомендую к прочтению, не пожалеете.
Минусы
это pocket book, шрифт мелковат поэтому
