Rezension zu „Bar Balto “
"The various monologues very cleverly paint the picture of a day in the life of this deprived society; [it] is very thoroughly and convincingly done... She writes with intelligence and sympathy, with humour and understanding" -- Allan Massie Scotsman "Engaging... Along with the corpse himself, [the suspects] tell their stories in a series of monologues, and this is where Guene, with the help of an excellent translation by Ardizzone, really shines" -- Laura Wilson Guardian "One of the most exciting novelists to emerge in recent years" Irish Times "Brilliantly paced... and utterly distinctive" -- Daniel Hahn Independent "Guene is praised as a multicultural heroine. And to her credit, she turns stereotypes on their heads; the people of Making-Ends-Meet are an authentic community, whose humanity endears them to us, however gritty or kitsch their veneer" Times Literary Supplement
