Björn recenserade The Zigzag Way av Anita Desai
None
3 stjärnor
3.5/5.
A slightly feverish story of 20th century colonialism that goes both ways, of Cornish miners emigrating to Mexico and fleeing the revolution, and of their children returning as rich tourists two generations later in search of Themselves. Peyote used more as an established metaphor than an actual drug. I really like Desai's writing, but the novel feels underdeveloped for all the different viewpoint characters she introduces.
