Michael Gruber, "The Book of Air and Shadows"


Michael Gruber, "The Book of Air and Shadows" Summary:
Publisher: Harper Paperbacks | ISBN: 0061456578 | edition 2008 | PDF | 571 pages | 1,89 mb

The novel is made up of three story lines that converge as the story develops. Richard Bracegirdle, the letter writer from the 16th century; Jake Mishkin an Intellectual Property Lawyer; and Albert Crosetti an aspiring filmmaker making a living working for an antiquarian bookshop. The author uses the written word eloquently to bring three distinct characters to life in such a way that you get absolutely and completely absorbed in the narrative. The novel does not totally focus on the thrill of the chase to find the illusive manuscript, but incorporates the (dysfunctional) lives and loves of the main characters to give a rounded whole.
