Información de la editorial

Ward Just is the author of fourteen previous novels, including the National book Award finalist Echo House and An Unfinished Season, winner of the Chicago Tribune’s Heartland Award. In a career that began as a war correspondent for Newsweek and the Washington Post, Just has lived and written in half a dozen countries, including Britain, France, and Vietnam. His characters often lead public lives as politicians, civil servants, soldiers, artists, and writers. It is the tension between public duty and private conscience that animates much of his fiction, including Forgetfulness. Just and his wife, Sarah Catchpole, divide their time between Martha’s Vineyard and Paris.

Primera línea

AMBASSADOR NORTH'S apprehension had begun with a pain in his wrist, noticed one afternoon while he was fishing offshore on Middle Ground, the boat tipping gently in the chop where the Sound's floor dropped abruptly from six to sixty fathoms.
