Recenzii
Gripping, original and richly descriptive ... A daring page-turner to devour in one sitting
Disturbingly good ... Elena Ferrante-esque
Comparable to The Secret History ... A new and important author
Poetic, observant, tragic, gut-churning ... There is something inescapable about Demi-Gods, so that by the end you feel as though you've been inches underwater, unable to surface, but desperate to
Sex is more a state of mind than an act in this lush, subtle novel ... The book is of a piece with André Aciman's 'Call Me by Your Name' and other soft-core explorations of how we mess one another up, and realize it only later . Rarely have blurred lines, in weird sex or otherwise, been explored with such grace
Her skill as a writer is beyond question
Reminded me favourably of novels like Deborah Levy's Swimming Home and Emma Cline's The Girls
Demi-Gods traces the border between fear and attraction. The novel throbs with ominous details ... Yet, it is also a book riddled with beauty ... This novel will sneak under your skin
Unsettling and compulsive, Demi-Gods is a fearless novel and Eliza Robertson a daring new novelist
A feat of subtlety and daring ... Robertson portrays complex relationships with breathtaking precision and compassion, revealing the human bonds that protect, falter, survive and heal. I absolutely love this novel
Demi-Gods combines the unnerving, naked female candour of Elena Ferrante's My Brilliant Friend with a darkened menace worthy of German director Michael Haneke
PRAISE FOR WALLFLOWERS: 'Reading Wallflowers is like taking a solo swim across a chilly lake. You become mesmerized by details - the silken texture of the water, the cool air on your arms as they rise and fall, the rhythm of your breath, the dark scrub of trees on the distant shore - without ever forgetting the mysteries and potential dangers that lurk beneath ... Captivating
A young writer who succeeds in imagining the world afresh
The stories in Eliza Robertson's first collection are filled with lush flora and fauna, both real and figurative. Assured and ambitious
A significant new talent. The ordinary and everyday become imbued with a strange significance, albeit with a feather-light touch; Robertson's prose is never weighed down, even as it imparts a sense of uneasiness, anticipation. Robertson lets images vibrate with possibilities ... Every story, individually, is sharp, illuminating
