Recenzii
Wonderful ... I highly recommend ... a book one doesn't want to put down'
A twisted take on the artist's coming-of-age story, The Cherry Robbers tackles deep questions about marriage, sexuality, familial loyalty, guns and the artist's life-a witty, delicious, demented joyride.
This feminist Gothic thriller whisks readers from New Mexico in 2017 to Connecticut in 1950, straight into the bull's-eye of a firearms dynasty.
Sarai Walker's debut novel does something few contemporary writers - whether green or seasoned - have managed to do well: Dietland is a searing feminist manifesto, a hardcore, politically-charged criticism of the unavoidable ills that plague women today. But, guess what? It's also fun.
Hooray! Sarai Walker has done it again. With The Cherry Robbers she upends the Gothic ghost story with a fiery feminist zeal.
Praise for Dietland:'If Amy Schumer turned her subversive feminist sketches into a novel, dark on the inside but coated with a glossy, palatable sheen, it would probably look a lot like Dietland - a thrilling, incendiary manifesto disguised as a beach read.'
Walker creates a dazzling world filled with the scents and colors of flowers that will later become the foundation for Sylvia's subversive paintings. Just as subversive is the swirl of voices of the women at the story's center: The Chapel women may be locked away in castles and sanitariums by a series of domineering men, but their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse
Walker plays along with the feminist gothic form, with the idea of a family curse, and we cannot but play along, caught up in the suspense to the inevitable end
A riveting, gothic page-turner... evocatively captures the tempo, languor and decadence of the ivory tower in which the sisters are trapped... a dazzling world... their unfulfilled longings haunt these pages as powerfully as any family curse
Walker's take on the classic Gothic tale fairly shimmers... a heady concoction of terror and desire... fever-pitched emotions... dark with smothering melancholy and macabre spectres
Exquisitely tense and satisfyingly spooky... masterfully blends psychological and supernatural horror...a darkly erotic exploration of female desire, duty and destiny via an ensemble of nuanced female characters, each with distinct personalities and rich inner lives...will keep readers frantically flipping pages. The Cherry Robbers is not to be missed
Delightfully eerie mix of bildungsroman and ghost story. This uncanny tale of dark origins shines brightly
Gorgeously written and all-consuming, and left me more than a little heartbroken
Long-anticipated... spooky... speaks to the author's range
Earning comparisons to The Virgin Suicides for its singularly unlucky siblings and gothic mystery
Filled with incredible writing, deliciously dark and gothic themes and strong female characters, this new novel is not one to miss
Takes one interesting new turn after another... a heady mix of gothic fiction and incisive art thriller
Sharp, gothic tale
Sarai Walker has done it again. She upends the Gothic ghost story with a fiery feminist zeal
Thrums with violence, oppression, and blood. This fierce feminist tale hit me in the heart and hasn't let me go
Oh, I love Sarai Walker's The Cherry Robbers! The Cherry Robbers tackles deep questions about marriage, sexuality, familial loyalty, guns and the artist's life--a witty, delicious, demented joyride
