Sobre este artículo
London: Jonathan Cape, 2004. First edition. Hardback. As New/Very Good. Jonathan Cape, London, 2004. First edition. Book condition: near fine. Dust jacket condition: very good - unclipped and with only very slight shelf wear around the edges. A thoroughly original novel about ambition and love, power and corruption, Some Great Thing has the same epic emotional grandeur as The Great Gatsby. With great skill, and with huge compassion for his broken characters and their thwarted dreams, Colin McAdam has created one of the finest novels of recent years.
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.
