On Hampstead Heath de Marika Cobbold

On Hampstead Heath

Autor Marika Cobbold
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 13 mai 2021
'No one writes about life quite like Marika Cobbold; no one combines light and dark, humorous and profound, joyous and sorrowful quite so expertly' Guardian

Thorn Marsh was raised in a house of whispers, of meaningful glances and half- finished sentences. Now she's a journalist with a passion for truth, more devoted to her work at the London Journal than she ever was to her ex-husband.

When the newspaper is bought by media giant The Goring Group, who value sales figures over fact-checking, Thorn openly questions their methods, and promptly finds herself moved from the news desk to the midweek supplement, reporting heart-warming stories for their new segment, The Bright Side, a job to which she is spectacularly unsuited.

On a final warning and with no heart-warming news in sight, a desperate Thorn fabricates a good-news story of her own. The story, centred on an angelic apparition on Hampstead Heath, goes viral. Caught between her principles and her ambitions, Thorn goes in search of the truth behind her creation, only to find the answers locked away in the unconscious mind of a stranger.

Marika Cobbold returns with her eighth novel, On Hampstead Heath. Sharp, poignant, and infused with dark humour, On Hampstead Heath is an homage to storytelling and to truth; to the tales we tell ourselves, and the stories that save us.

Recenzii

On Hampstead Heath is a deliciously romantic comedy of misunderstandings and misbehaviour - I loved it
With On Hampstead Heath, Marika Cobbold has rebooted the Hampstead Novel for the 21st century. A delightful novel
A heart-warming and at times hilarious tale about truth and honesty in this treacherous age of social media
A brilliant and brave take on fake news and its fallout
Clever and funny with a splinter of melancholy running through it. It's a superb read
Few writers balance darkness and light as well as Cobbold
On Hampstead Heath was so refreshing and unexpectedly needed, like feeling the sun on your face in winter. Funny, astute, and aching in all the right ways, I was utterly charmed.
Marika Cobbold's look on life is unique
On Hampstead Heath is exactly what is needed at this time. A romantic story tempered with a sharp wit and written with knowledge and love of place in which it's set
An absolute little gem of a book, On Hampstead Heath is entertaining, thought-provoking and extremely witty
A fabulous read. It's wise and perceptive, honest and witty
Brilliant and funny and darkly surprising
