Von der hinteren Coverseite

"Stunning.... de Vasconcelos has created some of the strongest and most complex female characters in contemporary Canadian fiction." - The Globe and Mail

"What is especially wonderful about My Darling Dead Ones is the abundance of life teeming through its pages: The Portuguese landscape of hilly, yellow-stuccoed houses is palpable; Magdelena's flat in Lisbon invites exploration of its quaint clutter; one sniffs the fresh scent of earth as Leninha creates a back room of hostas and calla lilies in her suburban Montreal garden. [Here] is a complex and sumptuous world.... There is much comfort and delight in My Darling Dead Ones." - Quill & Quire

"Magic.... Like Spanish writer Federico Garcia Lorca and Irish playwright John Millington Synge, de Vasconcelos understands the deep-rooted relationship between soil and soul.... Brilliant." - The Financial Post

Aus dem Klappentext
