Interesting look at human relationships
|
|
...I was pleasantly surprised by this book. The story centers around young Victor/Jim who is taken out of school by the Captain, who claims to have won Victor/Jim from his father in a game of Back-Gammon. The Captain is a true con artist, who has never held a decent job in his life. His true affection lies with Liza, whom he only wants to be happy. They met through Victor/Jim's father. The book is interestring in the way it describes the relationship between Victor/Jim, the Captain and Liza. The three of them are glued together whether they like it or not. And the Captain shady business in Central America is exposed, and maybe the Captain was more a hero than first thought?
