Recenzii
'A beautiful, dream-like narrative. Rarely do debut novels come as assured and impressive as this one.
Just occasionally you pick up a novel that is inexplicably gripping from the first page - and Perry's debut is one of them
What makes this novel truly remarkable is its unique vision, its skilful and sophisticated characterisations, and the creation, without unseemly effects, of an atmosphere that will haunt the reader long after the final page
An original and haunting book ... a mix of elegant, alluring, but subtly sinister characters ... a talented writer
A dark, marvellous novel ... Perry evokes the oppressive atmosphere in precise, elegant prose ... This mesmeric quality recalls Sebald's writing, but Gothic-smudged ... It is not good for a first novel, just very good full stop. So pour yourself a cool drink and bask in a dazzling new writing talent.
After Me Comes the Flood is written in deceptively straightforward prose that gradually yields a profound sense of foreboding. A house and the mysteries it contains; a disconcerting, dark reservoir to which everyone's attention returns; and a most unsettling sense of place - all made me think of Fowles' The Magus, Maxwell's The Chateau, and Woolf's To The Lighthouse. This is a book perhaps most deeply about the unknowability of others and of oneself - and one that, while highly disorienting and eerie, is also intensely warm. I loved it.
Perry's debut successfully creates an air of real eeriness and tension ... the real pleasure here is in her insightful and convincing depiction of family.
Impossible to put down
Perry is a startlingly good writer. If she doesn't win the Booker prize one day, I'll be amazed.
Unsettling, thoughtful, eerie...strange and new...It's very clever and very intriguing.
