And so she travels to Europe as a passenger on a tanker bound through the Panama Canal. But Panama is a country whose politics are as volatile as the local freedom fighters. When Hisako's ship is captured, it is not long before the atmosphere is as flammable as an oxy-acetylene torch, and the tension as sharp as the spike on her cello. CANAL DREAMS is a novel of deceptive simplicity and dark, original power: stark psychological insights mesh with vividly realised scenarios in an ominous projection of global realpolitik. The result is yet another major landmark in the quite remarkable career of an outstanding modern novelist. 1494165 book 1989 Canal Dreams total:317|5:24|4:80|3:135|2:62|1:16| 317 985 425 17 1381339 0316858579 9780316858571 1 1 3.11 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1183130573m/1381339.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1381339.Canal_Dreams 1 1 false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 01 06:49:02 -0800 2008 Tue Mar 31 00:24:53 -0700 2009
