Finding Albert Strange: a Day to Remember C C Canning 第2 版

?Finding Albert Strange? is a story of redemption, of one family, on one day, seeking to find itself before it is too late. It begins on a beautiful autumn morning without a cloud in the sky as the Saville family set out to join the celebrations on their country?s most important day of the year? For Roger Saville a public holiday is the last thing he needs. Under pressure from shareholders and the banks he has a potential investor in his sights, only his briefcase has gone missing together with its life-saving contents and the company lawyer, Lawrence Beck, seems intent on sinking their billion dollar property empire with talk of insider trading. For Joanne Saville the perfect life created for her and her children, Willie and Samantha, is no protection against the sense of foreboding she feels. What is stopping her from reconciling with her estranged father, Albert, and how long does she have left to do so? Willie?s day does not begin well. He has a vague memory of Luke putting the two white pills on Nicole?s swollen tongue, but nothing of what happened subsequently. For all of them it will be a day to remember, but for Albert Strange, reluctant war hero, it will be a day he struggles to survive.
