Críticas:
A subtle, brutal and compelling read (Esther Freud, author of HIDEOUS KINKY)
A compelling literary voice ... Monkey Beach is pervaded by a powerful sense of menace, and the haunting spirituality that lurks in the beautiful landscapes of Canada's Pacific coast (Julie Wheelwright, INDEPENDENT)
A young and striking voice - her writing is fresh and often harrowing (OBSERVER)
Combining pathos with biting humour, each of these beautifully created narratives has a sting (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
The accomplishments of this, her first novel, have made it well worth the wait ... Robinson's depictions of LisamArie's interior and exterior worlds are utterly persuasive. This isnt gothic sensibility at work here, nor sentimental, instead - as the hidden secrets of so many lives are revealed - there is a use of language at once sensuous yet also direct and uncompromising. Wonderfully readable and rereadable (Time Out)
A wild, beautifully crafted story, which terrifies and warms the heart in equal measure (She)
A graceful and impressive book (Times Literary Supplement)

Growing up a tough, wild tomboy, swimming, fighting and fishing in the remote Native village of Kitamaat, where the land slips into the green ocean on the northern edge of the world and strange things bubble below the surface, LisaMarie has always been different. Visited by ghosts and shapeshifters, tormented by premonitions, she can't escape the sense that something terrible is waiting for her at the end of the line. Then one day her little brother Jimmy goes missing at sea, and as LisaMarie sits waiting for news, aged nineteen but feeling a hundred, she sorts through the blackest secrets of her damaged life, in search of hope.
Wild, sensuous and terrifying, MONKEY BEACH binds our most primal fears to an exquisitely haunting landscape in an unforgettable modern ghost story.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. A young Native American woman remembers her volatile childhood as she searches for her lost brother in the Canadian wilds in an extraordinary, critically acclaimed debut novel As she races along Canada's Douglas Channel in her speedboat - heading toward the place where her younger brother Jimmy, presumed drowned, was last seen - twenty-year-old Lisamarie Hill recalls her younger days. A volatile and precocious Native girl growing up in Kitamaat, the Haisla Indian reservation located five hundred miles north of Vancouver, Lisa came of age standing with her feet firmly planted in two different worlds: the spiritual realm of the Haisla and the sobering "real" world with its dangerous temptations of violence, drugs, and despair. From her beloved grandmother, Ma-ma-oo, she learned of tradition and magic; from her adored, Elvis-loving uncle Mick, a Native rights activist on a perilous course, she learned to see clearly, to speak her mind, and never to bow down. But the tragedies that have scarred her life and ultimately led her to these frigid waters cannot destroy her indomitable spirit, even though the ghosts that speak to her in the night warn her that the worst may be yet to come. Easily one of the most admired debut novels to appear in many a decade, Eden Robinson's Monkey Beach was immediately greeted with universal acclaim and earning nominations for numerous literary awards before receiving the Ethel Wilson Fiction Prize. Evocative, moving, haunting, and devastatingly funny, it is an extraordinary read from a brilliant literary voice. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. Artikel-Nr. GOR001068148
