A Separation
Autor Katie Kitamuraen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 feb 2018
This is her story. About the end of her marriage. About what happened when Christopher went missing and she went to find him. These are her secrets, this is what happened... A young woman has agreed with her faithless husband: it's time for them to separate. For the moment it's a private matter, a secret between the two of them. As she begins her new life, she gets word that Christopher has gone missing in a remote region in the rugged south of Greece; she reluctantly agrees to go look for him, still keeping their split to herself. In her heart, she's not even sure if she wants to find him. As her search comes to a shocking breaking point, she discovers she understands less than she thought she did about her relationship and the man she used to love. A searing, suspenseful story of intimacy and infidelity, A Separation lays bare what divides us from the inner lives of others. With exquisitely cool precision, Katie Kitamura propels us into the experience of a woman on edge, with a fiercely mesmerizing story to tell.

Recenzii
The precision of Kitamura's prose is nothing short of extraordinary ... A Separation is a beautifully written powerhouse of a novel that defies all expectations
Electrifying... I read it in one breathless sitting.
A Separation is riveting, unsettling and beautifully written. Katie Kitamura really is the business.
A memorable, unsettling novel ... Insights into intimacy and infatuation roil beneath the surface of Kitamura's spare prose as she meticulously dissects the emotions that reverberate in the wake of infidelity.
A novel so seamless, that follows its path with such consequence, that even minor deviations seem loaded with meaning. Wonderful.
Consider Katie Kitamura a literary heavyweight in the making.
Kitamura's protagonist is a smart, accomplished, contemporary version of that ancient literary figure, the unreliable narrator ... A Separation leaves you intrigued, impressed
The voice is strong - distinctive, inviting while also remote, expressive of an emotional limbo ... finely executed ... Multiple scenes are artfully articulated, and Kitamura is skilful at describing fine shades of feeling ... the prose is often elegant ... A Separation successfully evokes a highly specific mood: a lostness, a dislocation, a suspension, a mourning ... Kitamura strikes a haunting note
The burnt landscape, the disappearance of a man, the brilliantly cold, precise, and yet threatening, churning tone of the narrator - make A Separation an absolutely mesmerizing work of art.
A slow burn of a novel that gathers its great force and intensity through careful observation and a refusal to accept old, shopworn narratives of love and loss.
A Separation opens up fissures of ambiguity in emotional experiences too often misunderstood as monolithic-grief, desire, estrangement-and plumbs these crevices for all their complexities. It has both urgency and afterglow: I read it quickly, but didn't stop thinking about it for a long time once I was done.
Profound and gripping. I had that rare sense of feeling like I was in a creation specifically made out of words, that couldn't have been made out of any other substance. Kitamura combines the calm complexity of Joseph Conrad with the pacing and reveal of Patricia Highsmith.
Kitamura's novels do new things with form I hadn't thought possible... A Separation will win awards and it's about time.
Gripping yet thoughtful psychological novel ... an absorbing, reflective read ... it builds a tension that kept me hooked
Kitamura delivers a powerful story ... as the mystery questions how deeply we can ever know each other.
Beautifully written
