Facing Out To Sea

Sceptre 1997 Paperback, 343pp. â€oeIt took me into a world I knew very little about and opened my eyes to its beauty and interest. What I especially admired was the way the characters were both representative of large ideas and yet also fully human … it’s a huge achievementâ€� – Alain de Bottonâ€� â€oeI was captivated by the atmosphere but it was the sheer thoughtfulness of this novel that interested me … one of the most consistently intelligent and fascinating novels about what goes on in people’s minds that I’ve read for a long time. Quite mesmeric in its holdâ€� – Margaret Forster â€oeHis descriptions of the Colombo slums are marvellous and the Singhalese characters are vivid and credible … there are luminous realisations as true for Chandra and Vijay as for our First World selvesâ€� – The Observer First published by Hodder & Stoughton in 1996, Facing out to Sea is set in the city of Colombo, Sri Lanka, and tells the story of two lives - and two worlds - colliding. Vijay Vijayaratne is a waiter who spends his days in the quiet, elegant verandah restaurant of an exclusive ocean-front hotel – and his nights amid all the noise and squalor of a Colombo slum. Clara Lane is a Western tourist whose stay in the privileged, protected setting of the hotel makes her curious about the raw life of the city outside. As the two come to know each other, the contrast in cultures and circumstance sets up a shock wave that rocks both their lives and reverberates well beyond. Cover lightly creased, (ISBN: 9780340695654). Good.

Andrew Grant-Adamson and Lesley Grant-Adamson

A Season in Spain

Pavilion 1995 Hardcover, 218pp. This is Lesley and Andrew Grant-Adamson's account of the time they lived in the Alpujarra region of Spain between Granada and the Mediterranean. Through their personal experiences, the Grant-Adamsons were drawn into the customs, traditions and economic issues affecting life in the Alpujarra. They recount the reaction of the locals to the arrival into their rural community of an inexperienced English couple, the crises and triumphs that accompanied the olive harvest, the colour and pageantry of local fiestas, and the constant problems of drought and dry rivers. This is the rocky world where to Moors settle when they were chased out of Granada five hundred years ago. They are very much in evidence, especially in the clusers of flat rofed houses that might be taken for villages in North Africa: and in the irrigation system that waters the terraces. Out oive grow was on the fertile river plane of the Guadalfeo, twenty miles from Granada as the eagle flies and twelve miles from the Mediterranian. (ISBN: 9781857933055). Good.
