Viac o knihe The Cardturner (Louis Sachar)
Bloomsbury Publishing PLC: `In Alton Richards, Sachar has created a credible and funny teenage lead . . . The human drama is gripping' --Financial Times
'A master storyteller' --Angels and Urchins
'Brilliantly multi-layered' --Jewish Chronicle
'A dab hand at teaching by story...Light and fun' --Spectator
`This is Sacher, owner of the most distinctive, clever, funny, philosophical voice in children's fiction . . . a whale symbol on the page warns of forthcoming bridge analysis, which the readers can skip if they want. But they probably won't. Because this is Sachar' --The Telegraph
`This is an engaging, coming-of-age story about the myths and realities of family secrets which also gives an insight into the fascinating world of duplicate bridge' --Carousel
`The genius of Sachar's prose is that it's so plain and unshowy you don't notice the daredevil artistry of his storytelling until it's too late. You don't know you've been cut in half until you try to walk away . . . As Uncle Lester might say, nicely played, Louis' --Frank Cottrell Boyce, Guardian
`This tender, whimsical book turns up tricks and trumps, laughter and love. A wonderful read' --Bookfest
When Alton's ageing, blind uncle asks him to attend bridge games with him, he agrees. After all, it's better than a crappy summer job in the local shopping mall, and Alton's mother thinks it might secure their way to a good inheritance sometime in the future. But, like all apparently casual choices in any of Louis Sachar's wonderful books, this choice soon turns out to be a lot more complex than Alton could ever have imagined. As his relationship with his uncle develops, and he meets the very attractive Toni, deeply buried secrets are uncovered and a romance that spans decades is finally brought to a conclusion. Alton's mother is in for a surprise!
