Product Description

Review

"'Pawel Huelle is one of the most well known Polish writers. In this new book his writing is at least as well oiled as a Mercedes-Benz 170 ought to be, full of stories and reads like a song' TAZ; 'Strictly enclosed by cars and roads, this city-road-movie explores the history of a whole family and era. Wonderful. As Brecht said, the simplest things are the most difficult to create' Bookmarket; 'Highly recommended. It's truly wonderful what this writer from Gdansk has managed to fit into such a tiny car' Focus"


The Independent, 3 March 2006

'Playful, bittersweet, juggling irony with regret'

3.0 out of 5 stars Worthy, 23 Jun 2006
By G. L. Haggett "glynlhaggett" (UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
There's much to enjoy in this quite whimsical tale of the recent history of one man's family, as necessarily affected by the events of the 20th century, recounted to a female driving instructor over a course of lessons during which the relationship between the narrator and the driving instructor develops. Fans of Bernhard Schlink's "The Reader" will find much of the style and nature of the book familiar. Indeed, the translation is of a similarly outstanding quality.
There is plenty of humour, originality and wit in the novel; towards the end, however, it becomes a little too literary and Central European in its intent, sacrificing readability for worthiness and apparent philosophical profundity.
