All the Bad Apples
批評家のレビュー
“Fowley-Doyle travels through generations, examining the power women possess, the things that have been taken from them, and the things they fight to reclaim. . . . [A]n astonishingly potent offering to women who break the mold.” (Booklist, starred review)
“[T]he echo of past trauma is hauntingly underscored by the invocation of the banshee scream, and the book has a simmering, authentically righteous fury... Give this to readers of Wallace’s The Memory Trees or Griffin’s Other Words for Smoke for a similarly eerie look at how present ills are informed by past sins.” (BCCB)
“An emotional journey through Ireland’s unspoken history.... Simultaneously enjoyable and difficult to read, Fowley-Doyle’s fast-paced, evocative novel introduces...unsettling truths, both historical and contemporary, such as incest, rape, abortion, child labor, and violence against women and those in the LGBTQ community. These topics, however, are important and are handled with great care... Recommended for readers who enjoy realistic and historical fiction.” (School Library Journal)
あらすじ・解説
Unflinching and gorgeously written, this feminist novel is important, timely, and a compulsive listen. From the highly acclaimed author of the beloved The Accident Season comes an epic breakout novel examining the very topical and controversial issue of women's sexual and reproductive rights, which has never been higher on the public's radar.
When Deena's wild older sister Mandy goes missing, presumed dead, Deena refuses to believe it's true. Especially when letters start arriving - letters from Mandy - which proclaim that their family's blighted history is not just bad luck or bad decisions but a curse, handed down to women from generation to generation. Mandy's gone to find the root of the curse before it's too late for Deena. But is the curse even real? And is Mandy still alive? Deena's desperate, cross-country search for her beloved sister - guided only by the notes that mysteriously appear at each destination, leading her to former Magdalene laundry sites and more - is a love letter to women and a heartbreaking cathartic journey.
