Klappentext zu „Salt Modern Fiction / Fox Fires “
A lost girl and a sprawling map of an unsettling city.Wren Lithgow has followed her concert pianist mother around the cities of Europe for almost two decades. When they arrive in the mysterious city-state of O, where Wren was conceived during a time of civil war, she resolves to find man she believes is her father.
As the city closes in around her, Wren gives herself over to a place of which she understands nothing, but to which she feels a profound connection, in a story of the watchers and the watched, the ways in which we conceive of home and, finally, the possibility of living on our own terms.

Pressezitat
Much as I enjoyed the author's debut, Booker-longlisted The Many, this tale has a more fluid and accomplished feel. There are similarities in the shadowy undercurrents, and the skill with which threads are woven together. Menmuir has spun a fascinating web that captured this reader's attention fully. I was left sated while still thinking through issues raised. A piercing, thought-provoking and highly recommended read. Jackie Law
