Omschrijving
A hauntingly powerful new novel from the award-winning Claire North - one of the most original voices in modern fiction
Mesmeric, terrifying and wonderful. North is practically her own genre at this point.
An irresistible, haunting thrill
A clever and thought-provoking conceit
North's latest once again displays her mastery of lyrical prose . . . The author presents a fascinating testament to humanity's fallibility and tendency towards denial, merged with the potency of truth and the power of love
Claire North's most ambitious novel to date
Remarkable . . . one of the most moving, horrifying and gut-wrenching novels of the year
A suspenseful tale of the truths that lie hidden in the human heart . . . This is a world-spanning cat-and-mouse chase that tackles big questions about the nature of truth and whether we can ever really know one another or ourselves. True love, life, and death, what's worth dying - or killing - for: It's all here in this gripping, bloody, and haunting novel
In rich, compelling prose, North weaves together the threads of imperial control, ideological conviction, love and the thrill of power . . . A lyrical and sometimes surreal approach to espionage and its thrills
North's talent shines out
Claire North is a true original, a master of ingenious plotting and feats of imagination
Claire North's writing is terrific, smart and entertaining
North demonstrates skill in creating a terrifying setting that feels rooted to the present day . . . Every aspect of life in Theo's Britain is imbued with a menace that feels both recognizable and urgent, and the decisions the characters make as a result feel uncomfortably real.
The truly scary thing about 84K is how convincing this dark, brutal class-divided Britain is
North is an original and even dazzling writer, and fans of her work will enjoy this grim tale of capitalism taken to a terrifying extreme
Another captivating novel from one of the most intriguing and genre-bending novelists
An extraordinary novel that stands with the best of dystopian fiction, with echoes of The Handmaid's Tale
