Recenzii
People Like Them is disturbing and powerful. It explores the topics of racism and jealousy in a very subtle way. I loved it
Sedira packs a powerful punch, exploring the class-race divide .The graphic murders stand in stark contrast to Sedira's subtle accounting of Constant's tortured path . Deeply unsettling yet compulsively readable
Icy and chilling, People Like Them is an investigation both of a crime and of the society that nurtured it. The novel's precise, vivid writing brings to mind two other knock-outs from France, The Adversary by Emmanuel Carrere and Based on a True Story by Delphine de Vignan. In sharply drawn sentences, Sedira summons the beauty of a small French village, and the shocking acts of the people inside it
Dark and unsettling and brilliantly concise ... I'll be thinking about it for a long time
Perfectly executed, and prize-worthy
Unflinching. Every word in this crisply told story matters, and every seemingly-casual moment is laced with dread, daring you to look away. You won't
