The speckled people / Hugo Hamilton

Livre

Hamilton, Hugo ((1953-...)). Auteur

Edité par Harper Perennial. London - 2003

Auteur irlandais. The childhood world of Hugo Hamilton is a confused place. His father, a brutal Irish nationalist, demands his children speak Gaelic at home whilst his mother, a softly spoken German emigrant who escaped Nazi Germany at the beginning of the war, encourages them to speak German. All Hugo wants to do is speak English. It is a journey that ends in liberation but not before this little boy has uncovered the dark and long-buried secrets that lie at the bottom of his parents' wardrobe.
