She and her husband settle in Toronto. They struggle to build a new life there and provide their son Radek with every opportunity. But a gulf widens between mother and son. What of the past is she to preserve, and how to avoid letting its weight burden the present? Maria's story is about the moments of connection and isolation that are, ultimately, common to us all. <br><br><i>The Hunters</i> is told by an American academic living in a dreary suburb of London for a summer. Removed from the relationships that ordinarily add structure to life, this scholar soon grows obsessed by the neighbors downstairs. Ridley Wandor lives with her mother and their horde of pet rabbits, occupying her days as a caretaker of the elderly. While the narrator researches a book about death, Ridley Wandor's patients all seem to be dying. Is she doing away with them? The narrator constructs Ridley's story from the available clues, only to find that nothing is what it had seemed to be. <br></div> 637845 2001 The Hunters total:96|5:16|4:29|3:40|2:7|1:4| 96 334 148 20 3650 0330488155 9780330488150 81 16 3.48 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1165030108m/3650.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3650.The_Hunters 3 0 false Fri Jan 23 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 27 16:44:54 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 03 14:48:38 -0800 2009 When the World Was Steady and The Last Life.
