Fremdes Land: Roman | James Lee Burke

5 posts | 6 read | 9 to read

Eine Ode an den großen amerikanischen Traum Texas im Jahr 1934: Weldon Holland fristet in der ländlichen Ödnis ein perspektivloses Dasein. Einzig das Gangsterpärchen Bonnie und Clyde, das nach einem Bankraub auf dem Grundstück campiert, durchbricht die Monotonie. Zehn Jahre später überlebt Weldon als Leutnant nur knapp die Ardennenoffensive und rettet die jüdische Kriegsgefangene Rosita Lowenstein vor dem Tod. Zurück in Texas steigt er ins boomende Ölgeschäft ein, wo er bald in ein gefährliches Spiel aus Intrigen, Korruption und Machtstreben verwickelt wird.

Wayfaring Stranger: A Novel | James Lee Burke

so-so

This was last month's pick from bookandabrew and I really struggled with it sadly. Oil in 1940s America doesn't really interest me, and I didn't really connect with any of the characters. Luckily this month's book seems like a much better fit for me, so fingers crossed!

BookAndABrew Not me! But I'd love to take credit for it! Maybe you have the name slightly off? 7y

Wayfaring Stranger: A Novel | James Lee Burke

Complaint: the audio tracks only at the end of each 20+ minute chapter. Compliment: Will Patton's Texas drawl. Some of the prose got a bit purple but much of it was lovely.
