Notă biografică
Born in Dublin in 1969, Emma Donoghue is an Irish emigrant twice over: she spent eight years in Cambridge doing a PhD in eighteenth-century literature before moving to London, Ontario, where she lives with her partner and their two children. She also migrates between genres, writing literary history, biography, stage and radio plays as well as fairy tales and short stories. She is best known for her novels, which range from the historical (Frog Music, Slammerkin, Life Mask, Landing, The Sealed Letter and The Wonder) to the contemporary (Stir-Fry, Hood, Landing). Her international bestseller Room was a New York Times Best Book of 2010 and was a finalist for the Man Booker, Commonwealth, and Orange Prizes.
Descriere
A retired professor's life is thrown into chaos when he takes his adolescent great-nephew to the French Riviera in hopes of uncovering long-buried family secrets, in this stunning masterpiece from bestselling author Emma Donoghue.
Recenzii
“Donoghue’s writing is as lush as it is clear-eyed; her characters and settings emerge in richly detailed prose, but there’s never a word out of place.” — Quill & Quire
“Emma Donoghue again demonstrates her facility for tension-ridden storytelling and unusual empathy.” — NOW Magazine
“A quietly delightful read, perfectly calibrated for deep enjoyment.” — The Globe and Mail
“Donoghue’s sparkling story is both inventive and thought-provoking.” — London Free Press
Praise for The Wonder: —
“Heartbreaking and transcendent” — New York Times
“Dark and vivid, with complicated characters, this is a novel that lodges itself deep” — USA Today
“A tense gothic page-turner in which nobody, including the unreliable nurse narrator, are entirely what they seem. A powerful exploration of religion and the sway it holds, The Wonder is equal parts psychological drama and unorthodox love story. A thoroughly enjoyable read from one of the country’s premier storytellers.” — Toronto Star
“[B]ack with a novel as gripping and intense as the popular Room. The Wonder, is set in 1850s Ireland and will undoubtedly also be adapted to the big screen. The prose is so intensely alive, so cinematic that you truly can see the action unfolding before your eyes.” — Ottawa Citizen
“Her contemporary thriller Room (2010) made the author an international bestseller, but this gripping tale offers a welcome reminder that her historical fiction is equally fine.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Donoghue’s literary prowess creeps like a dark, menacing fog across the pages.” — Quill & Quire
Praise for Room: —
“Room is that rarest of entities, an entirely original work of art. I mean it as the highest possible praise when I tell you that I can’t compare it to any other book. Suffice to say that it’s potent, darkly beautiful, and revelatory.” — Michael Cunningham, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Hours
“Claustrophobic, controversial, brilliant . . . inventive, tense, and stringently intelligent.” — Maclean's
“Remarkable . . . heartrending. . . . Both gripping and poignant, it’s a tribute to human resourcefulness and resilience and extremity, and a stirring portrait of a mother’s devotion.” — Toronto Star
“Thrilling and at moments palm-sweatingly harrowing.” — New York Times Book Review
