2005-02-28 A wonderful read!

I read Cameron's "The Weekend" some years ago and although I enjoyed it -it wasn't overly compelling, this marvellously titled novel however is enthralling. It grips you like a thriller would from the outset and Cameron has a great ear for dialogue. The conversations of a fragmented family in balmy Uruguay ring with cryptic clues about the deceased author whose shadow they all seem to live in, and who will bring them the unexpected visitor of Omar. Omar is a lively indecisive character who manages -without much effort- to unsettle all those around him.
If you are looking for a unusual story that is full of warmth and insight then read this book.
