Make Strange
Autor Niamh Campbellen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 apr 2026
Over the course of the next strange, strained year, Sunny will refer repeatedly to her previous lives, and how they ended.
Her parents, Lena and Odhran - who rushed headfirst into family life after an accidental pregnancy and a hasty registry office wedding - are left desperate for answers.
Is their child suffering from disassociation, a psychological disorder, or something more? Has she been contaminated by their own haunted histories - by Lena's experiences as an indie musician in the era of sleaze, by a shady legacy of madness in Odhran's family? Can we ever really protect our children? What if we can't?

Recenzii
Sometimes it is worth stating things plainly: this is a great novel by a great novelist . . . Deeply wise, deeply humane, deeply stylish and deeply moving
Every novel by Niamh Campbell is a gift and Make Strange is no exception. I am in love with Campbell's prose: this is a forensic examination of the psychological effects of childrearing, and of trying to make a good life for oneself and for others. The uncanniness of parenting haunts the novel like a spectre in sentences that are shaped like the feelings they evoke. It's Anne Enright meets John McGahern meets the contemporary moment, while also being completely, distinctly Niamh Campbell. Bravo
Make Strange is a brilliant novel, full of curious ideas and melancholic beauty and gorgeous prose. Reminiscent of Anne Enright, Paul Murray, Claire Kilroy and Belinda McKeon, though that is not to say that Campbell doesn't have a singular voice; she absolutely does. I devoured it
Cool, poised, stylish, sharp and fiercely intelligent, Make Strange takes its striking premise, of a child who claims to have lived and died before, and uses it as a prism through which to make our most quotidian days strange and mysterious; to explore what strangers we are even to ourselves. An impressive book, and a writer to be admired
Niamh Campbell writes contemporary Dublin like no other writer I can think of. Make Strange is a glowing, moving, daring book - sharp as flint, and supple, almost shape-shifting in its observation. This is a novel that asks big questions - about life, family, the mind, and about how we live in a world full of estrangements. Niamh Campbell is building a body of work that feels, to me, important and truthful and brilliantly new
