Beskrivning
At Wybrany College, there are two kinds of student: the children of the rich and powerful, and the ‘Specials’ – recipients of a mysterious scholarship. Sealed off from the decaying world outside, the school promises safety, order and, for the Specials, the chance of a different life. But when one of them disappears, the illusion begins to crack. Hidden hierarchies shift. The line between protector and predator blurs.

Recensioner i media

'Sara Mesa's writing is mysterious and fascinating: her characters brush against the limits in environments of fierce false calm. Un Amor is one of her best novels - tense and beautiful like a crouching bird.' – Mariana Enriquez'When I read Sara Mesa, I'm there in the Wild West, sifting through the sand. There is a restless enjoyment, an inhospitable beauty, in my sieve. And then something miraculous when gold appears before my eyes.' – Eva Baltasar'Sara Mesa sees the world through the lens of power, exploring how questions of strength and weakness shape human behaviour... Her writing has an unnerving force: with a single sentence, she can reveal the darkness at the heart of a situation like a lens sliding silently, suddenly into focus.’ – Annie McDermott, The TLS‘Sara Mesa’s deft control and economy of language shouldn’t come as a surprise. She’s a poet. Her nouns are razored. Her verbs are explosive … If you haven’t read her, you should. She won’t waste your time.’ – European Literary Review Mesa’s work is tense, intimate, and unsettling … we can’t look away.’ – Literary Hub
