I've finished reading TWO LIVES: A MEMOIR, by Vikram Seth. Mr. Seth is from India, and he tells the story of his uncle and aunt, in London, during the end of the second world war. His uncle, a dentist, had lost his right arm during the war. He survived a bombing, but now has to learn to live with his handicap, and to make a living "as is". His aunt is a Jewish German lady, much taller than her husband who has to live with the weight of the loss of her family in concentration camps. This "odd couple" love and care for each other. Mr. Seth's style is poetic and interesting. Two lives intertwined in the fabric of two different cultures and a world war.
Acabo de terminar de leer Dos vidas: Un recuerdo, por Vikram Seth. El senor Seth es de la India, y nos cuenta la historia de su tio y su tia, en London durante la segunda guerra mundial. Su tio, dentista, habia perdido su brazo derecho durante la guerra. Pudo sobrevivir una bomba, pero ahora tiene que aprender a vivir con su problema, y ganarse la vida asi como esta. Su tia es una dama alemana judia, mucho mas alta que su marido, y tiene que aprender a vivir con la carga del dolor de la muerte de su familia en campos de concentracion alemanas. Esta "pareja despareja" se aman y se cuidan. El estilo del senor Seth es poetico e interesante. Dos vidas entretejidas en la tela de dos culturas diferentes y una guerra mundial.
