Rezension zu „Lullabies for Little Criminals “
O'Neill's vivid prose owes a debt to Donna Tartt's The Little Friend Baby's precocious introspection feels pitch perfect Tear-jerkingly effective - Publishers' Weekly A remarkable novel that could turn out to be huge the very rich descriptions of a tumultuous young life and emotional reaction to each new situation add up to a cracking good read - Publishing News ...vivid and poignant...a deeply moving and troubling novel - Independent ...dreamy prose...Baby's unique voice and the glimmer of hope provided by her intelligence and imaginative spirit live on in the mind long after you have closed the book - Waterstones Books Quarterly From feisty little Scout of To Kill a Mockingbird to Sissy Spacek's blank-eyed Holly in the film Badlands, Heather O'Neill draws on the annals of knowing child narrators to shape Baby's shabby, scrappy scrabble from broken home to detention centre to pimp's lap and back again. Scabrous humour and brutal insight fairly jolt each episode into life - The Observer
