Yasuko Thanh
概要
Maria-Thérèse Mandapat, a controversial figure in life and death, is known by many descriptors. Survivor of a cold and brutal childhood under her grandfather’s rule. Fighter pilot for France in the first world war. Daredevil barnstormer wending her way across the American south. Single mother. And perhaps most notably: remorseless murderer of six men.
After being hanged for her crimes on Earth, Maria ends up in a prison cell in Hell, while a coterie of subversive saints known as SAD (Saints Against Damnation)—including St. Adelaide, patron saint of abused women, and St. Nicolas, patron saint of the falsely imprisoned—mount a case for her redemption, making Maria a symbol of their revolutionary cause.
In a Heaven populated by busybody angels, beset by an ineffectual court system and a dreary bureaucracy little distinguishable from Earth’s, can a woman who flipped the script, who defied the expectations of her gender, take flight from her circumstances? The Falling Maria marks an audacious turn in Yasuko Thanh’s career, delivering a meditation on suffering and motherhood unlike any that’s come before it.

批評家のレビュー
“Fearless and elegant, The Falling Maria grapples with a mother’s choices in a world set asunder by war and an afterlife beset with ineffective bureaucracy. Fighter pilot, single mother, and murderer Maria refuses easy categorization, defying gravity as she soars in this luminous novel.”
—Eden Robinson, author of The Sorceress of Sky Serpents
“The Falling Maria is a richly imaginative and powerfully heartfelt novel that captured me from the first page. Yasuko Thanh has given us one of the most compelling protagonists I’ve ever read. Maria’s complicated journey through the real and spiritual worlds we can inhabit is resonant on many levels. At the core is an enthralling and authentic portrayal of moral dilemmas and what it means to be human.”
—Waubgeshig Rice, author of Moon of the Turning Leaves
“In The Falling Maria, a woman who dared to craft her own destiny in life finds herself answerable to the courts of both earth and hell. Navigating a world steeped in misogyny and violence, Maria refused to bow, apologize, or repent for the string of crimes committed in the name of her freedom. Now, her record is weighed in both life and death, as she stands at the centre of a transcendent reckoning that will have consequences not just on her own soul but in all the realms. Richly atmospheric and lyrically gorgeous, The Falling Maria is a haunting, luminous exploration of womanhood, liberation, and the devastating cost of refusing to bend to a world built to break you.”
—Carrianne Leung, author of Wonderland Road
“Equal parts fierce and haunting. You will remember this story for a long time.”
