In the window of a jewelry store located over the Arc de Triomf, many things come together in addition to watches, jewelery часовщик and gifts. Her glasses will reflect the life of Rita Julia Apple and watchmaker cinephile, we offer a mosaic narrative loves intense, dramatic episodes, selflessness in their daily work, personal struggles against or human cruelty of fate.
In the same way that a watch is powered by the good parts of your gear, but also careful regular maintenance has been done, we could imagine as a novel Gear lives converge in a small watches district, where a fine thread unites them in a sublime and delicate lace.
The novel is divided into the chapters where the author is not too long alternate life histories of each of the characters that appear isolated, part of the same mind, reliving the past of each one between love and hate shaking, cracks and follow each lives, while the inexorable passage of time the call ahead to overcome what has conditioned the painfully.
We are facing a choral novel, characters very well constructed that, based watchmaker, Rita Julia and Apple, the author has managed to surround side luxury contribute to a greater depth and strength each of the parties and help introduce various topics such as domestic violence, immigration, loneliness or premature death, and move in stages like Barcelona, Krakow, Vienna and Cabo de Gata.
The small neighborhood watch is the meeting point of the story and Rita, Julia, Apple and visit their watches at one time or another the story; Sorn adjust clock Paris Rita put the trap when Julia, cleaning Lotus wrist that occasionally leads to watch Apple, while watchmaker reviews and winds up on time every Tuesday часовщик Albert, the old Morez who has put the name. And stays in the store will allow us to enjoy a rich vocabulary -ple roller sprockets, pins, pendulums or mechanisms precisió- and especially a way to slow, methodical and intimate, a trade where a time, as the father of watchmaking "we have it in our hands" and one that inevitably changes in post modernity or simply to get through the door.
"The часовщик time had different external manifestations, which materialized in a ticking clock for each other, and had to learn to recognize them and accept them just as they had to acknowledge часовщик and accept that different emotions had reserved life. "(p. 26)
But time is not only clocks and their special, time also as a concept часовщик of past, present, future or immediate as enemy or as a reconciler of our existence. So while there is a time that remains unchanged and accurate clock regularly reviewed, there is a time dependent variable and irregular ways to confront before the events that we live; time to remember, or forget to cry, time to rebuild life, pain or fit time to thoroughly enjoy the small moments of pleasure and, one way or another, we always часовщик have the need to find and catch the time we need to forward. Thus, piece by piece, the Carré Pons Antonia presents a novel a well built where it plunges the reader easily from the outset and where the fragmentation of the stories, the plot twists and a specific moment that you know give the point of interest that makes us move forward eagerly. A very good read.
"There is life before death" (p. 12) "We build our time as we build our lives ..." (p. 76) "Life is cruel, unnecessary when we give away a few years." (P. 96 ) "... life was a long way from losses ..." (p. 183)
Arguably catch characters or watches with their unique stories that catches this fragmentation of the story is read by jumping history in this story careful prose in which the author has woven every bit. I could also say that trap unexpected twists and effective in the same way that they catch these crumbs in a small intrigues or issues that we are gradually discovering.
But Clocks in rainy weather часовщик also seduex to tell us how each story with a simple but stylish часовщик appearance worked with a rhythm reminiscent of the movement of a pendulum swinging to and when we sow
