Acerca de esta escucha
Nick, his pregnant wife, their unruly toddler, and angry stepchildren have just moved into a Gothic manor in a rough part of Newcastle. Working unhappily together to fix up their living room, they discover an alarming portrait of a Victorian family beneath the old wallpaper. As the sins of that family seep into their lives, Nick must tend to his dying grandfather, who is dealing with his own past failures. Barker skillfully weaves these dark threads together until unspeakable violence seems ready to explode from every scene. Narrator Steven Crossley's mesmerizing performance highlights the novel's haunting quality and the intriguing questions it raises about past, present, and memory.

Historia
On a road trip through Africa, two English people - Bobby, a civil servant with a guilty appetite for African boys; and Linda, a supercilious "compound wife" - are driving back to their enclave after a stay in the capital. But in between lies the landscape of an unnamed country whose squalor and ethnic bloodletting suggest Idi Amin's Uganda. And the farther Naipaul's protagonists travel into it, the more they find themselves crossing the line that separates privileged outsiders from horrified victims.

Historia
Maurice Allington has reached middle age and is haunted by death. As he says, “I honestly can’t see why everybody who isn’t a child, everybody who’s theoretically old enough to have understood what death means, doesn’t spend all his time thinking about it. It’s a pretty arresting thought.” He also happens to own and run a country inn that is haunted. The Green Man opens as Maurice’s father drops dead (had he seen something in the room?) and continues as friends and family convene for the funeral.

Historia
In this incandescent novel, V.S. Naipaul takes us deeply into the life of one man, an Indian who, uprooted by the bloody tides of Third World history, has come to live in an isolated town at the bend of a great river in a newly independent African nation. Naipaul gives us the most convincing and disturbing vision yet of what happens in a place caught between the dangerously alluring modern world and its own tenacious past and traditions.

Historia
Matthew is a normal 11-year-old boy living with his parents and little sister in Surrey. He's too old and sensible to have an imaginary friend really. Yet when Matthew's parents keep finding him talking and arguing with a strange presence whom Matthew calls Chocky, that's what they believe it must be…at first. But Chocky is oddly sinister, and keeps asking Matthew all sorts of complicated questions about the world and making him behave in unusual and erratic ways. Then Matthew suddenly does something heroic, well beyond his capabilities; the media become interested and the interest in Matthew widens.

Reseñas de la Crítica
"Thoughtful, acutely observed and profoundly moving....Barker mixes brilliantly observed contemporary realism and mystical overtones with dazzling skill. The book has the grip of a superior thriller while introducing, with no sense of strain, a sense of sorrowful mortality that lingers long after the last page." (Publishers Weekly)

Historia
Mary Coles and her husband, Graham, have just moved to a cottage on the edge of a small village. The house hasn't been lived in for years, but they are drawn to its original features and surprisingly large garden, which stretches down into a beautiful apple orchard. It's idyllic, remote, picturesque: exactly what they need to put the horror of the past behind them.

Twenty years ago, 16-year-old Tara Martin disappeared from a small town in the heart of England. Now, her sudden return and the mind-bending tale of where she’s been will challenge our very perception of the truth. For 20 years after Tara Martin disappeared, her parents and her brother, Peter, lived in denial of the grim fact that she was gone for good. Then suddenly on Christmas Day, the doorbell rings at her parents’ home, and there, dishevelled and slightly peculiar looking, Tara stands. It’s a miracle, but alarm bells are ringing for Peter. Tara’s story just does not add up.

Historia
The murderee is Nicola Six, a "black hole" of sex and self-loathing who is intent on orchestrating her own extinction. The murderer may be Keith Talent, a violent lowlife whose only passions are pornography and darts; or the rich, honorable, and dimly romantic Guy Clinch. As Nicola leads her suitors towards the precipice, London--and, indeed, the whole world--seems to shamble after them in a corrosively funny novel of complexity and morality.

Lionel Asbo, a terrifying yet weirdly loyal thug (self-named after England's notorious "Anti-Social Behaviour Order"), has always looked out for his ward and nephew, the orphaned Desmond Pepperdine. He provides him with fatherly career advice (always carry a knife, for example) and is determined they should share the joys of pit bulls (fed with lots of Tabasco sauce), Internet porn, and all manner of more serious criminality. Des, on the other hand, desires nothing more than books to read and a girl to love .

This was a decent, but unexceptional book
The book ends very strong, but the ending did not quite make up for the weak beginning and moderate middle. The character development was better than most, but not superb. There are numerous images that will stick with me, but overall Another World lacked the richness I look for in this kind of novel. The writing was otherwise good.

Really about death and dying
The summaries of this book focus on the blended family and the uncovered picture that appears to be them.
But the bulk of the story is about a grandson and his grandfather who is over 100 and has cancer.
That story reaches a conclusion.
All other storylines are left incomplete, as if the book is incomplete.
Well written but unsatisfying.

explorations of memory, and death
Another World by Pat Barker takes place in the current day, with a big portion of the story occurring in the memories of the old man who fought in WW1. Our main characters are Nick and his grandfather Geordie. Nick is a university professor who is there to help care for his grandpa who is at the end of his life. Geordie is a 101 year old man in his last days, and a veteran of the first world war. Although many other members of the family are present they are mostly unimportant and part of the background.
The story is really about memory. How does trauma affect it? What about age? Is Geordie's memory stronger as he nears his death or is it less reliable. I like how the author questions the permanence and reliability of memory. She uses her characters to show us how memory is colored by our personal views and experiences. Memory changes and adapts. It is about perception. What we value at one point in our life differs from other times and those values affect what we remember and how we see things. And sometimes the memories are also affected by the stories we hear from others. They intertwine and meld together changing the story.
But for me the power of this book was about its exploration of death and grief. These moments between Nick and Geordie were quite beautiful. The emotions were real and raw and brought to my mind my own feelings about the last week of my father's life. I found myself wishing that he had been more alert and verbal during that time so that I could relive it and ask him a million questions, probing his memory regardless of its malleability. Explorations of death always resonate with me. It is one experience that we will all face. Losing a person we loved is a universal experience and the emotions that are triggered are parallel to those of others in the similar place.

Not my favorite Pat Barker
If you are expecting the exceptional storytelling of the Regeneration Trilogy, you will be disappointed. Perhaps unsurprisingly given the author, the sections dealing with WWI vet Geordie are the strongest. And the true (familial) love story between Geordie and his grandson, Nick, is touching. But the relationship between Nick and his wife is fraught with what seems like genuine dislike--so much so that I had a hard time imagining how they could ever have come together long enough to create not one but two children in such a short period of time. I just couldn't quite care about any of the rest of the characters.
