A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This is the story of a woman brave enough to risk it all. She understands better than most the things that we keep hidden. She comes to learn how the heart is usually stronger than the head. And she cannot help, despite her better instincts, being drawn into a sexually charged and highly volatile relationship. True Things About Me is a brilliantly written novel of survival that reveals simultaneously the strength and vulnerability of one ordinary woman. With great honesty and unexpected humour, Deborah Kay Davies takes us deep into the mind of her unforgettable protagonist and in doing so asks us to consider seriously what we might sacrifice for our desires.

Revue de presse

Glinting with pitch-black humour, Davies s razor-edged style has a lucidity and ferocity that makes much literary prose sound like soggy mush. BOYD TONKIN, "The Independent " Deborah Kay Davies . . . is a writer born to awaken us . . . Her gift is that of nuanced compassionate revelation. Here, the almost-incomprehensible is made palpable. The ostensible fact that it s told to us by the victim makes it more remarkable still. Repelled, yet attracted, the reader is helpless. Nothing prurient is indulged in. Here and there, flit sprites of humour, making the darkness more intense. If darkness has brilliance, this is it. TOM ADAIR, "The Scotsman" --The Scotsman
