Omschrijving
'Startlingly brilliant' Spectator
'A triumph' Daily Mail
'One of America's most powerful writers' Times Literary Supplement
Twelve-year-old Caitlin lives alone with her mother - a docker at the local container port - in subsidised housing next to an airport in Seattle.
A triumph
His prose is as clear, fresh and invigorating as a starry winter night on an Aleutian mountainside, and his intriguing scenarios make his books easy to devour in a few urgent sittings
A stirring tale that isn’t as simple as it first appears.
A blue-collar parable … [The character] looks back on her life as a child looks into a tank, hoping to make sense of the world inside – a theme that Vann develops beautifully, creating a mysterious realm of the wintry American city’
Vann spins a powerful tale of guilt and resentment, steeped in the atmosphere of a bleak winter city
