It is the summer solstice, and Life is busy preparing for her millennial midsummers feast.

But as she awaits the arrival of her sister Death and their celestial guests, there is a distinct sense of unease in the air. Look closely and the signs are there: the water tastes sour, the light has changed and now an ominous tear has appeared in the dawn sky.

Time advances with a new, dark urgency, and as the clocks tick, ancient rivalries ignite and loyalties are betrayed. The stakes couldn’t be higher.

Kaleidoscopic in scope and deeply felt at its core, The Life of Life is a dazzling and timely allegory of good and evil, and an anthem sung to sisterhood, the magic of community and the power of resistance.

批評家のレビュー

"Praise for Mrs Death Misses Death: A fantastically imaginative story about life, death and everything in between – a potent reminder that life is short and every second should be cherished" (IDRIS ELBA)
"A modern-day Pilgrim’s Progress leavened with caustic wit . . . This is not light-hearted stuff, yet Godden has produced a miraculously light-hearted novel . . . an elegant, occasionally uproarious, danse macabre"
"Exquisite. A daring, poetic offering that establishes Godden as one of our most exciting voices. I loved it" (IRENOSEN OKOJIE)
"A rhythmic and powerful poetic meditation on death, life and love and the hidden mysteries of the universe; both playful and sombre, hilarious and human" (NIKESH SHUKLA)
"In this timely and exquisite meditation on breath and its best rhyme, we see a stunning performance poet crowding all the energy, wisdom, passion and laughs of her live work into the solid ingot of this astounding novel, as profound as Cohen, as playful as Brautigan. Salena Goddess, more like" (ALAN MOORE)
"It’s light, it’s dark, it’s twisted and it’s brilliant. As we all encounter life, so too we should all encounter Mrs Death. Poetry, prose, life and death. Salena Godden brings them together with ease. She is a wordsmith of the highest order" (BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH)
"Dark at times – with compelling stories about miscarriages of justice, murder and racial oppression – it is nonetheless celebratory and life-affirming, aglow with love, fortitude and compassion"
"I love Salena Godden and I love Mrs Death Misses Death. Salena, like the lead character, is a force to be reckoned with. If the page were a stage, Mrs Death is its star. She soaks in the spotlight, commanding the eye of the audience. It is an assured debut by a poet whom I hold in the highest regard" (LEMN SISSAY)
