A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

Winner of the Costa First Novel Award A Sunday Times Exceptional Novel of 2015 A Best Book of 2015 by The Times and The Daily Mail “It’s not just good, it’s great. An amazing piece of fiction." —Stephen King “The Loney is one of the best novels I’ve read in years. From the very first page, I knew I was in the hands of a master. Atmospheric, psychologically astute, and saturated with the kind of electrifying wrongness that makes for pleasurably sleepless nights.” —Kelly Link, author of Get In Trouble “The Loney is a stunning novel—about faith, the uncanny, strange rituals, and the oddity of human experience. Beautifully written, it’s immensely entertaining, but also deep and wide. A moving evocation of desolate wilderness and a marvel of complex characterization, The Loney is one of my favorite reads of the past couple of years.” —Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author of the Southern Reach trilogy “A palpable pall of menace hangs over British author Hurley's thrilling first novel...Hurley tantalizes the reader by keeping explanations for what is happening just out of reach, and depicting a natural world beyond understanding. His sensitive portrayal of Tonto and Hanny's relationship and his insights into religious belief and faith give this eerie tale depth and gravity.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review) "First-time novelist Hurley weaves an intricate story of dark mystery and unwavering brotherly love that lends itself to many rereads. The characterizations are superb; even the Loney becomes a distinct character as it seems the place, not the people, is to blame for the bizarre happenings. Also, while religion plays a major role, the reference is more an observation of traditions...This eerily atmospheric and engrossing novel will captivate readers who like their fiction with a touch of the gothic."—Library Journal, editor's pick
