A little light, with a dog together

Kate Atkinson got into the upper league of modern literature on the very first attempt: her debut novel “The Museum of My Secrets” received the prestigious Whitredov Prize, bypassing the “Farewell sigh of Moor” Salman Rushdi, and the Romanov cycle about the private detective Jackson Brody, who managed to fall in love with the Russian reader ( “Crimes of the past”, “turn for the better”, “Wait for good news?”, “A little light, with a dog together”, “Big sky”), Stephen King dubbed “the main detective project of the decade”. The total circulation circulation exceeded three million copies, and on the basis of its first books, the BBC channel released the series “Crimes of the past” with Jackson Isex in the title role.
After all the adventures in Cambridge and Edinburgh Brody returns to his native Yorkshire. A private detective, who, who had rested to rest, is trying to track down a linden wife that has cleansed him and responds, not wanting it himself, to a sudden letter from New Zealand: “I was adopted, and I would like to ask: you could not find out anything About my biological parents? But it turns out to be easier to say than to do: in any archives, the parents of Nadine McMaster do not mean, as well as the very fact of adoption. “The story of a lost and acquired child is a short -out way reflected and refracted in the stories of other lost children and - unexpectedly in the history of the dog” (Galina Yuzefovich, “results”) Two retired policemen conduct each investigation in one space, not in contact for the time being, and behind each - his past, his own train of historical and cultural realities. “When the main detective intrigue intervenes in this existential confusion, the reader experiences a real delight with what skill with which Atkinson turns a bizarre dance of accidents into a strict detective solitaire” (Time out)
