The Emigrants
A: W.G.Sebald
ISBN: 1-86046-349-5
1997
Four, short, heart-felt stories verging on a book of mourning. Although this book is dedicated to the Jewish loss during WW2. I would like to think it could be applied to all those who have suffered personal loss.
For all those people who are not accounted for with the same reverance.
And lets not forget, all those who continue to suffer. It doesn't stop.
An account of the past lives of 4 individuals. Sometimes difficult to read, but then I just read those bits again.
Not overly impressed, but I got the feeling I shouldn't really comment because it was true accunt of peoples lives. For that you have to the book some browny points. Not many writers can do that.
