Rezension zu „Anatomy of Wings “
"'There are shades of The Lovely Bones and The Virgin Suicides in this luminous depiction of an Australian family's shock and grief at the sudden death of a 14-year-old girl.' Guardian 'Sometimes you read a book so special that you want to carry it around with you for months after you've finished, just to stay near it. The Anatomy of Wings is one of those books.' Marcus Zusak, author of The Book Thief 'The portrait of rebellious female adolescence is wretched yet compassionate, with Beth part untouchable deity, part victim of others' manipulation. Foxlee's writing is generous and unsentimental.' Guardian 'The Anatomy of Wings is like a patchwork, using memory fragments to explore adolescent trauma and the ways in which grief can ransack family life... Richly sensuous.' Sunday Business Post 'A brilliant debut novel, well-written and insightful... Exceptional... Jennifer's voice adds bittersweet charm, mixing youthful humour and sorrow.' Sydney Morning Herald"
