Produktinformationen zu „Corporal Hitler's Pistol / Puffin Classics (ePub)“
His familiarity with the town makes Kempsey crackle with commerce, gossip and class divisions from the opening pages. Always a first-rate storyteller of a traditional kind, Keneally displays his mastery of narrative technique in a series of cinematic set pieces that propel the story forward while intimately developing the characters.
Keneally deftly plaits together his disparate strands, far too canny to create predictable outcomes. Nothing goes as planned, even for those with noble intentions, keeping the plot taut right to the end. Corporal Hitler's Pistol manages to be a rollicking, optimistic entertainment while mourning the human tragedies that shaped the 20th century and beyond.
