Melanie Finn's THE GLOAMING is a haunting, relentless exploration of guilt and obsession disguised as a taut psychological thriller. Finding herself ostracized, threatened and slowly losing her grip on reality after a horrible accident, Pilgrim Jones inexplicably flees to Tanzania, where she embarks on a morbid journey of self-discovery. Along the way, she encounters myriad odd and memorable characters, including disillusioned doctors, Ukranian mercenaries, mild-mannered shamans, and vengeful Good Samaritans. Like a combination of PLAY IT AS IT LAYS and HEART OF DARKNESS, THE GLOAMING takes the reader into the most desolate regions of human nature and the darkest realms of the psyche. It is a tale of fear, shame, hope, and perhaps the lingering possibility for redemption.
An early novel by Nobel Prize winner Herta Muller and in English for the first time, this hypnotic novel delves into the relationships of two young couples in Romania during the Ceausescu regime. Paranoia quickly sets in when one of them is suspected of being in the secret police. Taut, precise and morally complex, this novel is a literary page-turner of the highest order. Deftly translated by Philp Boehm.
A heartbreaking and honest collection about chronic mental illness and its effects on Wang. Through these essays Wang's mission is not to scare, shock, or make the reader feel sorry for her, but to create an environment where mental illness is better understood and destigmatized within our culture. An eye-opening collection of essays from a truly exceptional writer.
This book was absolutely fantastic! A knock-out cast of diverse characters, a complex and layered world, and an ever increasing descent into chaos that left me breathless. Is it too bold to say that this series could be the next Throne of Glass? My only wish is that the second book was here already!
