Derek Hansen – Lunch with the generals (05-036)

In Leichhart, Sydney, in an Italian restaurant, every week four men gather. They tell each other stories. In the meantime they enjoy the delicious food. They hardly know each other, apart from their love for fine cuisine and good stories.

Then one of them, a blind former Argentinean, starts a story that last 6 weeks. It might have an autobiographical content, as a refugee from Buenos Aires plays a lead role in this story. The other main character is a half Dutch, half English girl, born in Indonesia. Fate has them bump into each other in Sydney.

The story fills the other three with doubts about their friend, but in the mean time they do enjoy the history.

Great book, much better than I had anticipated.
