Una lectura llena de calidez y sensibilidad acerca de lo efímero de la vida, la importancia de las relaciones humanas y el valor del tiempo que nos queda.Martin, un abogado de setenta y seis años, recibe el inesperado diagnostico de una enfermedad terminal. Felizmente casado con una mujer mucho mas joven que el y padre de un niño pequeño, debera enfrentarse a una pregunta ineludible: ¿como vivir plenamente sus ultimos meses?Martin se niega a caer en el dramatismo y se entrega a una rutina metodica y serena: poner en orden el tiempo que le queda y despedirse de su familia dejandoles un recuerdo preciado y perdurable de su existencia en comun. Lo hace sin estridencias, mediante una serie de gestos modestos y ordinarios pero llenos de calidez y dignidad. Cancela compromisos, deja de contestar correos, dedica las horas a disfrutar del dia a dia con su hijo y reflexiona sobre que legado puede dejarle.Comienza a escribirle una carta, aunque pronto se da cuenta de que su amor y su presencia valen mas que cualquier testimonio. Tambien observa con cierta inquietud que su esposa parece tener otra vida mas alla de su relacion, lo cual no enturbia su voluntad de decirle adios de la mejor manera posible.La vida al final es una novela contenida y conmovedora en la que la muerte no se presenta como una desgracia sino como parte natural del ciclo de la vida. Con un estilo sencillo y su caracteristica sensibilidad moral, Bernhard Schlink logra convertir lo cotidiano en una experiencia trascendente y de una inusual hondura.Lejos de sentimentalismos, la obra plantea cuestiones esenciales ¿que se considera una vida bien vivida? ¿Como despedirse de las personas que amamos? y deja en el lector una huella duradera y esperanzadora. Un testamento literario sobre el tiempo, el amor y la aceptacion de la finitud que forma parte de la experiencia humana.

In an opulent villa near the English Channel lives a family. The father has a safe, a spanner, a candle and a maid called Rose. The son has a swing, a croquet set, a raincoat, a car. Some members of the family read crime novels to fall asleep (the father), some instead of sleeping (the son), and some to ease the loneliness of an unhappy marriage (the mother). Their equilibrium is shattered in the wake of a shocking incident and the twenty minutes of silence that follow. Darkly comedic and wonderfully strange, Twenty Minutes of Silence is a truly original take on the crime genre, inspired by a true story. Here Helene Bessette builds a world of intrigue, a world punctured by startling disruptions and unexpected shifts, and in doing so destroys and remakes the crime novel, creating a form wholly new.

Is she Isla? If so, who took her? And what exactly happened to Isla all those years ago?

The whole thing is meant to be an absolute hoot.But the hoot turns to horror within hours.
