The Sea by John Banville

# Paperback: 200 pages
# Publisher: Picador (3 Jun 2005)
# Language English


Fine and sad novel. Art historian Max Morden returns to a sea village to experience again his mixed memories of childhood and the recent death of his wife,Anna.The narration flows and travels easily between his early years and the year of his wife`s illness. It`s a memoir of grief and mourning for the lost innocence of childhood.

This is the first book by John Banville I read. I will search to read his other novels as well.
