The Wicked Sister

Autor Karen Dionne
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 iun 2021

La suprafață, The Wicked Sister pare cronica unei traume asumate: o femeie care își acceptă izolarea într-un sanatoriu pentru a ispăși o vină de neiertat. Realitatea pe care o descoperă cititorul este însă mult mai sinistră. Rachel Cunningham crede că și-a ucis părinții. Timp de un deceniu și jumătate, memoria i-a fost cel mai mare inamic. Până acum. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Karen Dionne transformă izolarea din Michigan într-un personaj în sine. Când Rachel revine la cabana familiei, pădurea nu oferă refugiu, ci devine martorul tăcut al unei răutăți ancestrale. Observăm aici o evoluție a temelor din The Marsh King's Daughter. Dacă în lucrarea anterioară autoarea explora supraviețuirea în fața unui tată tiranic, aici mută focarul pe legăturile de sânge dintre surori, care se dovedesc a fi cele mai otrăvitoare. În tradiția lui Wendy Walker din Emma in the Night, acest roman reimaginează dinamica surorilor dispărute sau înstrăinate, unde adevărul nu este doar ascuns, ci distorsionat de percepții bolnave. Remarcăm un ritm alert, susținut de fragmente de memorie care se întorc ca niște arme cu două tăișuri. Nu este doar un roman polițist, ci o disecție a conceptului de „acasă” ca spațiu al pericolului iminent. Stilul este sobru, tăios, eliminând orice decor inutil pentru a lăsa loc tensiunii pure. Comparând cu Between the Lies de Michelle Adams, ambele volume mizează pe amnezie ca motor narativ, însă Karen Dionne plasează conflictul într-un cadru natural sălbatic care amplifică sentimentul de claustrofobie psihologică.
