In The Clearing: Now a Disney+ Star Original series - the tense and gripping thriller from the international bestseller

Autor J P Pomare

en Limba Engleză Paperback – 10 dec 2020

Trecutul și prezentul se ciocnesc violent. În centrul acestei narațiuni descoperim o tensiune insuportabilă între dorința de apartenență și nevoia vitală de libertate. Amy trăiește în „The Clearing”, o comunitate guvernată de reguli stricte și ierarhii opace. Totul este calm până la sosirea unei noi fete care refuză să se supună. În paralel, o urmărim pe Freya, o mamă care încearcă să simuleze normalitatea într-un oraș mic. Dispariția unei copile spulberă această fațadă. Reținem aici o atmosferă apăsătoare, unde fiecare personaj pare să ascundă o traumă sau o vină colectivă. Cine a citit The Cult: The unforgettable, twisty new thriller de Abby Davies va recunoaște imediat mecanismele psihologice de control exercitate de liderii de culte, însă J P Pomare ridică miza prin complexitatea legăturilor de familie. Stilul este tăios, cu informații oferite cu picătura, menținând un ritm care ne blochează într-o stare de alertă constantă. Considerăm că acest roman consolidează temele recurente ale autorului despre supraveghere și identități fragmentate, explorate anterior în The Last Guests sau The Wrong Woman. Autorul refuză clișeele genului, oferind în schimb o explorare crudă a modului în care o comunitate izolată poate distruge vieți sub pretextul protecției. Este un roman polițist psihologic în care tăcerea este la fel de periculoasă ca faptele în sine.

Descriere

The internationally bestselling novel that inspired the Disney+ Original series, The Clearing, featuring an all-star cast

'Past and present collide in this taut and unpredictable thriller' - Chris Hammer, bestselling author of Scrublands

'A dark, chilling, atmospheric thriller populated with mysterious and wonderfully flawed characters.' - Christian White, bestselling author of The Nowhere Child

THE NUMBER ONE INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

How far would you go to protect your family?

Amy has only ever known life in the Clearing. She knows what's expected of her. She knows what to do to please her elders, and how to make sure the community remains happy and calm. That is, until a new young girl joins the group. She isn't fitting in; she doesn't want to stay. What happens next will turn life as Amy knows it on its head.

Freya has gone to great lengths to feel like a 'normal person'. In fact, if you saw her go about her day with her young son, you'd think she was an everyday mum. That is, until a young girl goes missing and someone from her past, someone she hasn't seen for a very long time, arrives in town.

As secrets of the past bubble up to the surface, this small town's dark secrets will be exposed and lives will be destroyed.

Recenzii

Praise for In The Clearing:
Beautifully written and disturbingly addictive
Pomare's new novel, In the Clearing, is written with a technical aplomb that proves his first was no fluke. There's no doubt about it: Pomare is a master of the carefully constructed, impeccably paced psycho-thriller
There are lots of premium crime-fiction offerings this summer, but this bloodcurdling exploration of the asphyxiating grip of a cult on its followers deserves to be at the top of your pile.
Clear your schedules, because after reading page one you won't be able to stop. In The Clearing is another breathtaking page-turner from the author of Call Me Evie. A dark, chilling, atmospheric thriller populated with mysterious and wonderfully flawed characters.
'Smart Australian thriller ... Amy and Freya's worlds creepily collide in this unputdownable tale.'
Pomare alternates between Freya and Amy's stories in ways that challenge the reader to work out how these two characters connect, gradually revealing the secrets of the past until all the pieces of the puzzle fit satisfyingly
Both his books are testament to the fact that he could be one of the most exciting literary thriller authors to come out of the country
Still in his early thirties, he already writes with more assurance, and more subtlety, than some of the giants in his field. It seems safe to predict that he will one day be regarded as a giant in the field too
If J P Pomare's Call Me Evie was a slow-burner of a psychological thriller, his follow-up, In the Clearing, is a pared-back firecracker
Past and present collide in this taut and unpredictable thriller ... Twist follows twist and nothing is as it seems
A chilling depiction of the ferocious hold exerted by a cult and its adherents. This is totally absorbing fiction, made all the more shocking by the realisation that these stories recur again and again in Australian society
J.P. Pomare captivates in this haunting novel, In the Clearing. I was utterly gripped with the stories of Amy and Freya from start to finish, and fascinated by the unexpected way the two came together ... A sure-fire bestseller
This story plays on our worst fears - the peril faced by children and young people when predators strike. In the Clearing explores the psychology of cults and the experience of survivors and those who don't make it out. A complex and satisfying psychological mystery.
Pomare teases out the mystery of both Freya's past and its connection to Amy's story, delivering a thriller that's tense, twisty and eerily atmospheric.
Praise for Call Me Evie:
Pomare skilfully controls the drip-feed of information to create a nerve-racking love story that continually blindsides the reader.
