Recenzii

'In Hokey Pokey, Kate Mascarenhas has produced a delicious piece of art deco Gothic which explores the psychological complexities of both the age and the genre. I adore Kate's pitch perfect prose and fearless way with dishing out the thrills.'
'Hokey Pokey is an atmospheric, claustrophobic novel, expertly bringing the glamour of the 1920s to life. Nora's journey of self-discovery is both poignant and chilling, gripping the reader from the first line to the last. A dark and mesmerising read.'
'Dark and complex and beautifully plotted. I did not want to put it down.'
What begins as a compelling psychological mystery in a vividly real setting turns to the supernatural... A well-plotted, original, nightmare blend of madness and monsters
'An immersive and unique treat of obsession, murder and madness, skilfully wrapped in a glittering twist of golden age crime, with a dark supernatural core. Very clever writing.'
PRAISE FOR KATE MASCARENHAS: 'Witty, inventive and unflashily wise about human hearts; Mascarenhas's future promises to be an exciting one' Guardian. 'Breathtakingly tender and wryly understated, The Psychology of Time Travel feels like an antidote to a great deal of reported (and even fictionalized) history, its excised women now finding their way back into the spotlight' New York Times. 'Bringing magical realism to a contemporary Oxford setting in an atmospheric examination of gender inequality' Guardian, on The Thief on the Winged Horse. 'Captivating, inventive and tender... A dazzling mix of crime, romance, magic and myth' Adele Parks, on The Thief on the Winged Horse. 'This is a novel packed with ideas... It'll leave you turning over the concepts in your mind long after the story is finished'

Descriere

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:

A grand hotel, a famous opera star and a psychoanalyst with a hidden agenda. Kate Mascarenhas's third novel offers her readers a glamorous, thrilling ride through murder, madness and the darkest recesses of the mind. February, 1929.

The Regent Hotel in Birmingham is a place of deception and glamour. Behind its six-storeyed facade, guests sip absinthe cocktails on velvet banquettes, spying on their surroundings in the gilt mirrors and perfectly polished tableware, while the hotel's red-jacketed staff scurry through its lavish corridors to ensure the finest service is always at hand. In the early evening, a psychoanalyst checks in under a pseudonym: Nora Dickinson.

Nora is young, diligent and ambitious. Though she doesn't see herself as a liar, she is travelling with an agenda. Having followed the famous opera singer, Berenice Oxbow, from Zurich to Birmingham, she's determined not to let her out of her sight.

But when a terrible snow storm isolates the hotel - and its guests - from the outside world, the lines between nightmare and reality begin to blur and Nora will find herself face to face with a past she thought she had long left behind...
