Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Potomac Turning is the story of four young individuals who discover themselves as they mature from the shared childhood of three of them in San Antonio, Texas, and as the fourth joins during their university days in Washington D.C. These two men and two women who come from different social and racial backgrounds find their lives to become forever linked until the present day. Two other young individuals mould into the story as it progresses to Calcutta in the last phase. There are overtures even to Latin America. There is sexual discovery and experimentation as well as unrequited love. Descriptions of a Catholic school in Texas are poignant and reminiscent of possibilities. Georgetown in Washington D.C., which serves as the back drop as the students mature to young adults, is described with intimacy and familiarity. The passages about Calcutta, where the story moves rapidly towards finality, are extremely well-written and convey the flavour of that city and its people and the times. This is a highly recommended read for lovers of romance in exotic venues. Laurent Oliver Reviewer Washington D.C.…
