Paraíso

Gordon Chaplin

4.9/5 (23484 ratings)

Description:Like a Coen brothers noir south of the border, Para�so is a genre-bending story about love, sibling relationships, and the dark side of paradise. As teens, siblings Peter and Wendy fled their wealthy Philadelphia home in the family station wagon and headed for Mexico, only to be discovered sleeping in the car on the banks of the Mississippi. Now estranged by an apparent betrayal, the two live separate lives. Wendy--a sports photographer--has a new book out, an invitation to Los Cabos, and a chance to complete the trip begun twenty years earlier. But when Wendy's engine fails near a small town named Para�so--Paradise--she lingers, exploring its underside in an affair with a dangerous man. Meanwhile, from his apartment in lower Manhattan, Peter watches the Twin Towers fall on a beautiful September day. He knows it's time to leave his comfortable life, go find Wendy, and make peace with his long-lost sister. A noirish tale reminiscent of David Lynch and the Coen brothers, Para�so traces the journey from a family's dark secret to a place where love, and even perfect love, is possible. "A story so compelling, so sinuously told and passing strange, you feel like you can't take your eyes off the road for a second." --William Finnegan, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Barbarian A Surfing Life "Chaplin has written a genre-crossing novel based on family dysfunction that becomes darker and more compelling as Peter chases after Wendy and pages turn." --Booklist "[An] expertly paced noir fairy tale . . . Gorgeous, vivid scenery and fascinating people enrich a story that is both eccentric and universal." --Shelf AwarenessWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
