The Survivors: 'Without doubt one of the finest crime writers at work today' Chris Whitaker de Jane Harper

The Survivors: 'Without doubt one of the finest crime writers at work today' Chris Whitaker

Autor Jane Harper
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 sep 2021

Proza lui Jane Harper se distinge printr-o precizie chirurgicală și o atmosferă sufocantă, unde peisajul devine personaj principal. În The Survivors, ritmul este alert, iar tensiunea se acumulează ca o furtună la orizont. Putem afirma că stilul autoarei a evoluat de la ariditatea din The Dry către o explorare mult mai profundă a psihologiei umane sub presiunea mediului marin. Dacă The Dry v-a captivat prin secretele îngropate de secetă, această carte extinde experiența în direcția unei claustrofobii emoționale, unde marea agitată oglindește zbuciumul interior al personajelor. Merită menționat că, spre deosebire de Exiles, unde ancheta este condusă de un investigator federal, aici povestea este filtrată prin prisma vinovăției personale a lui Kieran Elliott. Suntem de părere că această abordare transformă romanul polițist într-o dramă psihologică intensă. Secretele comunității sunt la fel de adânci precum epava scufundată care bântuie memoria colectivă. O greșeală veche, un frate absent și un cadavru proaspăt pe plajă forțează adevărul la suprafață. Tensiunea nu scade nicio secundă. Jane Harper demonstrează din nou de ce este considerată una dintre cele mai bune voci ale genului contemporan. The Survivors se înscrie perfect în linia lucrărilor sale anterioare, precum The Lost Man, păstrând acea structură multistratificată care a consacrat-o internațional. Este o lectură despre consecințele acțiunilor noastre și despre modul în care trecutul refuză să rămână îngropat.

Recenzii

This atmospheric thriller stealthily peels back layers of silence that cover the unspeakable secrets of a tightly knit community

It's a murder mystery, but also a chronicle of youth, grief and growing up
A new book from Harper is always an event. Starting with The Dry (2016), she has built an international reputation on a series of crime novels set in remote communities in Australia, a genre that has become known as rural noir. For her fourth novel, Harper has turned her attention to a different kind of isolation; a small town battered by the elements on the coast of Tasmania...It is the kind of set-up that Harper handles expertly
Lulling and startling in turn, The Survivors immerses you from the first line in the secret lives of the population of Evelyn Bay. You won't put this novel down until you've uncovered every last skeleton in the closet. I loved it
Multi-layered, atmospheric and brilliantly written
Australian crime author, Jane Harper, has become an automatic must-read writer for me and her fourth novel, The Survivors, is full of her trademark twists and turns and clever, atmospheric writing
Australian author Harper's debut, The Dry, won a host of awards when it came out in 2017. Her latest, set in a small Tasmanian coastal town, is the same mix of brooding atmosphere and clever plotting
Full of those secrets within small communities that she writes so well. Set in a coastal town in Tasmania, this tale is full of atmosphere and intrigue
Brilliant...I read this in one sitting and can't impress upon you enough how well written and engaging it is
The mistress of Australian noir returns with an emotional story about secrets beneath the surface of apparently respectable small towns...Both a mystery and a subtle examination of character. Once again Harper demonstrates how good she is at portraying the fear and menace that lurk in ordinary lives
Harper takes on board corrosive issues of guilt, memory and responsibility to mesmerising effect
The Australian novelist Jane Harper is known for her excellent outback noir novels, in which the harsh, sun-baked
expanses of the landscape play as much a part as her protagonists. Her latest, The Survivors, moves the action to the coast of Tasmania, and shows that Harper doesn't need sun and sand to write a compelling, terrifying thriller...Harper goes from strength to strength

Jane Harper's superb new novel The Survivors exhibits all the qualities that make her such a compelling writer: a preoccupation with the clumsy, anxious joys and sorrows of adolescence and the awkward, haunted relationships of old friends who have nothing left in common but the past; an ability to unfold with steady, deliberate, unshowy brilliance a slow-burning family drama that reaches a devastating climax; a deft facility for artful character and plot misdirection; above all, a gift for setting, in this case the cliffside, the beach, the treacherous series of caves, the deserted town itself, all in thrall to the beauty and power and menace of the ocean. Sure-footed, technically impeccable plotting and storytelling ensure the mystery holds until the final pages, when Harper's compassionate eye imbues the novel with a satisfying degree of moral nuance
A gripping read from Jane Harper, the best-selling author of The Dry
Another brilliant read from the best-selling author
Fundamental to the success of her previous novels such as The Dry has been Jane Harper's subtle mastery of a sense of place, in particular rural Australia...Harper's writing is as unobtrusively effective as ever in setting the scene
The new crime novel from the Australian author dubbed "the queen of outback noir" by The Sunday Times
A dark, Tasmania-set tale of long-ago disaster, barely buried guilt and possible murder
Without doubt one of the finest crime writers at work today, a new Jane Harper novel is the highlight of my reading year. She has this knack of painting such beautiful scenes, only to thread them with such menace, such sheer atmospheric terror. Phenomenal
No one does small town secrets better than Jane Harper. Gripping, moving and absolutely compelling, The Survivors is another triumph
Like in her previous books, the setting is so strong that it's almost a character in itself. For fans like me, a new Harper book is a treat and this is another cracking read
Once again, as in all her crime novels beginning with The Dry, Australian crime writer Jane Harper creates an impressive landscape that serves to illustrate how the experience of place inevitably shapes the lives of those who live there . . . The Survivors is a subtle, quiet book about guilt, grief and growing up. You may find it hard to leave it behind
A latest slice of outback noir from Jane 'The Dry' Harper, the queen of Australian crime, in which a man is forced to reckon with the secrets of his past when a body washes up on the beach
'Jane Harper returns with another brilliant read. Harper is a compelling writer, her plotting and storytelling will keep you gripped. You will be transported to the coastal town where the community is bound to the ocean, with all its beauty and menace, for better or worse'
Secrets, guilt and a sunken wreck. More from the Australian bestselling author
'Unquestionably the real deal' Val McDermid

A body on a beach.

Secrets that have been waiting to be uncovered for 12 years.

And a family torn apart by trauma and guilt...
