Reseña del libro "No Prisoners: A Novel (en Inglés)"

An aged trade embalmer discovers a new connection to life. As a husband, he promised his dying wife he'd write their story of love and grief, sweetness, sadness. Twenty-five years later, he may not have a first sentence for the story of their marriage but he does have the start of a loving final chapter of his own. If sex and the dead, as Yeats instructed, are topics worthy of a serious mind, then Doyle Shields has a very serious mind indeed. His professional work was preparing the dead for their funerals, while his passion was pleasing his beloved partners. First, there was monogamous joy with Sally and then, after years of bereavement, after giving up on love and its blessings, there was Johanna, whose lovemaking makes Doyle believe in a life of the spirit. Still, life, as Doyle learned as a young combat Marine, takes no prisoners. It comes and goes and goes on with or without our participation or approval. And Doyle, approaching his end, is haunted by the wounds of the war fought in his youth. Award-winning writer and poet Thomas Lynch has wrought a sprawling, enthralling first novel about the pursuit of meaning, purpose, redemption and forgiveness, and the search for beauty in an imperfect world. It is for any reader who believes such quests can end in splendid victory. As Doyle feels God whisper, "Wait and see."
