Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge, the Costa Award-winning author of The Lie Tree, is a fantastically eerie and beautifully written novel, and was shortlisted for the prestigious Carnegie Medal. The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the clinking of cups. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.' When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; her sister seems scared of her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. She looks through her diary to try to remember, but the pages have been ripped out. Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite literally not herself. In a quest to find the truth she must travel into the terrifying Underbelly of the city to meet a twisted architect who has dark designs on her family before it's too late . . . 'Everyone should read Frances Hardinge. Everyone. Right now' - Patrick Ness, author of A Monster Calls.

  1. En riktig gökunge!
    Jane Airhead, 13 juni 2018

    Den svenska titeln på denna bok är "Gökungen" och det är en passande titel!

    Triss vaknar upp efter en olycka och känner inte riktigt igen sig själv. Hon upptäcker att hon har en glupande aptit och att denna inte går att släcka med mat. Hennes dockor blir levande och blir rädda för henne. Men hennes lillasyster är lika näbbig och avundsjuk som vanligt.
    Det är en kuslig bok, men jag tycker den tappar lite av sin spänning i senare delen. Den är absolut välskriven och läsvärd, men de... Läs hela recensionen

A deliciously sinister read full of mayhem and menace. Frances Hardinge is a very powerful and poetic writer weaving a very dark and magical tale to entrance and enthral her readers. * Guardian * An enticing mystery from the first page . . . The story, full of tension and danger, explores grief, revenge and forgiveness as well as misguided parenting and sibling rivalry. * Sunday Times *

Övrig information

Frances Hardinge spent a large part of her childhood in a huge old house that inspired her to write strange stories from an early age. She read English at Oxford University, then got a job at a software company. However, a few years later a persistent friend finally managed to bully Frances into sending a few chapters of Fly By Night, her first children's novel, to a publisher. Macmillan made her an immediate offer. The book went on to publish to huge critical acclaim and win the Branford Boase First Novel Award. She has since written many highly acclaimed children's novels, including Fly By Night's sequel Twilight Robbery, as well as the Carnegie-shortlisted Cuckoo Song and the Costa Book of the Year winner, The Lie Tree.
