概要

LONGLISTED FOR THE SA SUNDAY TIMES FICTION AWARD

When danger lies in the eye of the beholder, what happens when you reject its pull?


Cora carries secrets her daughter can’t know.
Freya is frightened by what her mother leaves unsaid.
Angel will only bury the past if it means putting her abusers into the ground.

One act of violence sets the three women on a collision course, each desperate to find the truth. In a nail-biting thriller set between the scorched red soil of South Africa, the pitiless snowfields of Canada and the chilly lochsides of western Scotland, each woman must contend with the spectres of male violence, sexual abuse and the choices we each make to keep our souls.

批評家のレビュー

"A tale of love and abuse that is as powerful as it is elegant – and it grips like a vice, too" (IAN RANKIN)
"Subtle, chilling to the bone and very contemporary. Margie Orford has a quietly understated, beautiful literary style" (PETER JAMES)
"Orford truly understands the transformative effect of violence for those who survive it and those who visit it upon others. It gives her writing visceral power" (DAMIAN BARR)
"The acclaimed 'Queen of Crime fiction' in South Africa takes a further step into the dark. The result is as compelling as it is frightening and deeply thought provoking. The Eye of the Beholder is sure to play a key role in the ongoing debate about what women and men are, and can be, for each other in these violent times" (JACQUELINE ROSE)
"A suspenseful and wise study of surviving sexual abuse and trauma. Orford’s prose is piercingly beautiful" (KIM SHERWOOD)
"Utterly brilliant. Gorgeous, unflinching and a total surprise" (FIAMMETTA ROCCO)
"Margie Orford invented the genre and mastered it" (POPPY SEBAG-MONTEFIORE)
"A hard-hitting, affecting novel about women who refuse to allow men off the hook" (DECLAN BURKE)
"A subtle, confrontational and disturbing read . . . mirrors contemporary society in a thought-provoking way" (Margaret Von Klemperer)
"An immersive and chilling experience that compels the reader to confront the rage and shame the victims feel . . . hard to put down, even as it makes your blood curdle" (Mamaputle Boikanyo)
