Viac o knihe White is for Witching (Helen Oyeyemi)
Pan Macmillan: `Oyeyemi flits between narrative voices, showing a greater interest and confidence in experimentation . . . The effect is powerful, and suitably shape-shifting: this is a narrative that never sits still.' --Independent on Sunday
`Her third novel continues themes - madness, magic and growing up - from her previous works and underlines that the 25 year-old is worth taking seriously . . . Oyeyemi does a brilliant job of giving everyday events a sprinkle of dread. As much as it depends on the supernatural, it is the banter and the ups and downs of family life that nourish this compelling novel.' --Guardian
`A quirky take on the haunted house tales of old, from the prodigal author of The Icarus Girl.' --The Times
`A spine-tingling tribute to the power of magic, myth and memory.' --Yorkshire Evening Post
'Helen Oyeyemi was just 21 when her first novel, The Icarus Girl, established her as one of the most distinctive voices of the year. White is for Witching, her third novel, returns to some familiar themes including hauntings, insanity and the secret life of siblings...The supernatural traditions of the Caribbean and Nigeria are here mixed in with the genre of seaside gothic - and to surprising effect.' --Independent
High on the cliffs near Dover, the Silver family is reeling from the loss of Lily, mother of twins Eliot and Miranda, and beloved wife of Luc. Miranda misses her with particular intensity. Their mazy, capricious house belonged to her mother’s ancestors, and to Miranda, newly attuned to spirits, newly hungry for chalk, it seems they have never left. Forcing apples to grow in winter, revealing and concealing secret floors, the house is fiercely possessive of young Miranda. Joining voices with her brother and her best friend Ore, it tells her story: haunting in every sense, and a spine-tingling tribute to the power of magic, myth and memory. Miri I conjure you . . . ‘Superbly atmospheric. The dark tones of Poe in her haunting have the elasticity of Haruki Murakami’s surreal mental landscapes’ Independent ‘The kind of prose that creeps off the page, crawls up the spine and burrows deep into the reader’s paralysed mind’ Daily Mail ‘White is for Witching should establish Oyeyemi as an ambitious voice in modern macabre; master of the light, lyrical touch and dark, half-hinted suggestion’ The Times ‘Entrancing’ TLS ‘Helen Oyeyemi was a literary prodigy. Now, she is ready to make the transition from wunderkind to established author. Remarkable’ Daily Telegraph
