Rezension zu „Home Corner “
Ruth Thomas is a brilliant chronicler and observer of the hum-drumness of everyday life and this is a wonderfully funny and poignant story about how unsettling the transition from childhood to adulthood can be. -- Carla McKay Daily Mail Thomas writes Luisa's story with a deft touch and a subtle lyricism ... [her] portrayal of the struggles and anxieties of late-adolescence are truly excellent and the empathy with which the story is treated create a warm, engrossing novel. -- Daniel Davies The Skinny This is no teenage coming-of-age novel but a reckoning of the space each of us occupies in the adult world ... The Home Corner has the layered feel and texture of a short story but the impetus of an intriguing novel. There's a self-deprecating humour and a subtle sadness in what passes for ordinary life. As a philosophical meditation on the paths not taken, it excels. Sunday Business Post
