Friendly. Hensher Philip

The incident at the Family Feast of the Sharif and Nazia could end in a tragedy, if it were not for the intervention of a neighbor, an elderly doctor named Dr. Spinster.

before you are the story of several decades from the life of two families: a university teacher who came to English The city of Sheffield for the sake of new opportunities - or who fled from the dictatorship and inevitable danger? - And the British doctor and his four adult children.

In the novel “Friendly”, Philip Hensher argues on more acute topics: the crisis of the family, civil wars in the third world countries, the perception of another person, with other life experience and views. Is this book that really shares people-skin color or education, worldview or standard of living? About what a person is ready for the sake of his neighbor, what feats and crimes.
