Synopsis :
Book by Rash Ron
Revue de presse:
“Beautifully written, utterly unforgettable. To my mind, this novel, as powerful and inexorable as a thunderstorm, is as good a piece of fiction as was published last year and a new classic in the category of love gone terribly wrong.” (Anna Quindlen)
“A gorgeous, brutal writer.” (Richard Price, bestselling author of LUSH LIFE)
“Ron Rash’s SERENA will stand as one of the major American novels of this century. It is a flat-out masterpiece-mythic, terrifying, and beautiful.” (Lee Smith)
“From the moment she steps off the train, Serena Pemberton commands center stage in Ron Rash’s rough-hewn tale of unchecked ambition. Universal in scope, frightening in its brutality, Serena is an unflinching vision of blighted souls played out against the backdrop of a nearly-lost Appalachia.” (David Wroblewski, New York Times bestselling author of The Story of Edgar Sawtelle)
“[Rash] has outdone himself. The story of this brilliant, ambitious, seductive woman is a searing tragedy of Shakespearean proportions―or, in simpler terms, a damn good book that will keep you awake far too late and, well after you’ve finished it, haunt your dreams.” (Julia Glass, National Book Award winning author of THREE JUNES)
“A powerful tale, well told, SERENA is enriched by Rash’s artful use of language. With just the right turn of phrase, dead-on details and subtle use of symbol, he delivers a story that will remain with readers long after the final page.” (Charlotte Observer)
“Beautifully written...” (Seattle Times)
“The opening is unforgettable...the last hundred pages are thrilling...should be a breakthrough for this masterful storyteller.” (Kirkus Reviews (starred review))
“An Appalachian retelling of Macbeth, a thriller, a word-perfect evocation of an era and a people, a grim chapter in the history of conservation: if Serena doesn’t finally win Ron Rash the overdue attention of the national literary (and cinematic) establishments, I can’t imagine what they’re holding out for.” (Arthur Phillips, author of Prague)
“This is a must-read novel.” (About.com (Contemporary Literature))
