Beskrivning

A humane and quietly humorous tale of a thoroughly unconventional girlhood. Earthquake, with its visually acute, roguish and intimate reflections of a girl's childhood spent in Alaska and Boston, is a novella in three parts. Susan Barnes, writing in an unaffected and composed style, shows that she is the master of candour and subtlety.

Recensioner i media

“The second I finished reading Earthquake, without even thinking, I began reading it again. The prose has a lovely tidal pull. It's lyrical, vivid, stark, beautifully contained, dark, unblinking, and lulling. A pure and durable stream of coming-of-age vignettes. Earthquake is lush yet gritty, wondrously detailed yet written so cleanly. The book is a gem, and I use the term gem almost literally. The prose seems to have found its ideal voice, like a diamond formed at great depths in the earth, under intense pressure, and is fully alive, a sparkling artifact of compressed energy.”—Amy Gerstler
