The Crane Wife

Beziehungen/ Motive: - zwischen Sanftmut und Gier - zwischen Leidenschaft und Erlösung - zwischen Hass und Vergebung Ich wurde beim Lesen in den Bann gezogen. Meine Neugier war von Anfang bis Ende geweckt. Wie werden diese extremen Motive in diesem einfachen Alltag die Geschichte auflösen/eskalieren lassen? Wird es eine friedliche Endnote geben?

Storyline George Duncan, a 50-year old American living in the UK, wakes up one night by a strange sound. He finds a crane in the middle of his small garden, shot by an arrow in the wing. George doesn’t realize if it is a dream or not, yet saves the crane. On the next day a woman called Kikomu walks into his printshop where George works at and asks for a frame/recopy of her work, really beautifully cuttings no one can really give an adjective to. George is not only amazed by the woman, but the cuttings too. From this day on, the book not only follows the story of George and Kikumo as they start their million pounds worth art business but George’s daughter too as she has to raise as a 25 year old her son JP.
