Sobre este artículo
Vancouver: Raincoast Book, 2004. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Signed by Author(s). 1st Edition. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. Very light corner rubbing, gently used, little wear overall. Text is clean. 'The time is the 1970s. The place is Ottawa - a developing city ready for the taking. Two men from very different backgrounds take up the challenge: Jerry McGuinty, a self-made man, a plasterer turned builder . . and Simon Struthers, a man of inherited wealth, a bureaucrat who carries self-absorption to new heights . . The careers of Jerry and Simon run parallel and so do their personal lives: each man's capacity for love is suffocated by work, his contentment slowly crushed by greed and 'progress.' As the city grows, so does the wealth and power of the men who build it . . but Jerry mourns the loss of his estranged son while Simon yearns for an unattainable woman.' 403 pages. .
Sinopsis
Jerry McGuinty is a simple, self-made builder who claims he can plaster a wall that will change your life. Simon Struthers is a disaffected businessman who proves the old adage about money and happiness. Together they face the new Ottawa of the seventies: brash, bright, and ready for the taking. With their different careers and successes, these two strangers seek to carve out their own happiness-Jerry with his new wife, Simon with his endless affairs and intrigues. But love can be suffocated by the drive to succeed, and individuals crushed by greed and progress. Only when both men realize what they have to lose will their lives finally intersect, and the story spiral to its astonishing conclusion.
