  • Disappointed 1772  

    The sun Scortas (Paperback)
    I was sure I treat myself by reading this book, to much praise. Well, I have not hooked at all. The characters have left me indifferent. I did not feel the 'real'. I quickly bored and I had to force myself to finish this book. Like what: tastes and c

    The sun Scortas (Paperback)
    We may not like The Sun of Scortas. It is fast, does not dwell on the characters. We spend time on them as it does on us. We see them, we understand that they are struggling, they are fighting against time, against their future. And that sun, so devi

    The sun Scortas (Paperback)
    I do not know what criteria to merit the Goncourt but now I'm not disappointed. Follow each member of this family over a century through Carmela is a real treat. Follow the destiny of each turn with its strong moments, sad or happy, or heritage is tr

  • Much writing quality  

    The sun Scortas (Paperback)
    The winners of the Prix Goncourt books do not prove all of the same water. This time, the novel crowned deserved such a distinction well. We do not read every day this writing quality, gourmet pleasure of playing with words, this obvious from the des

  • All Italy  

    The sun Scortas (Paperback)
    Beautiful book, very well written, moving. This is southern Italy as if you were there. It is almost part of the family Scortas. We would sit on instead of Montepuccio to watch live ... as do old before youth tell their stories, to send them a piece
