Recenzii
"A
wildly
brilliant
and
precocious
first
novel
.
.
.
this
young
writer
is
astonishingly
talented,
and
her
writing
can
steal
any
scene."—Adam

Times
Book
Review
"Imagine Sue Sylvester's lines from 'Glee' delivered by Judi Dench and you'll begin to capture the tone taken by the teachers in this mordant debut novel."—Scott Heller,New York Times
"Eleanor Catton's seductive debut is a vibrant novel that tests its readers, both in terms of context and form. . . . Daring and lush. . . a most beguiling read."—Stephenie Harrison,Bookpage
"The Rehearsal is a tour de force that tells two stories simultaneously while delighting in doubles, parallels, and couples . . . the combination of beautiful writing and inventive, nontraditional structure still make it a dazzling debut."—Michael Cart,Booklist(starred)
"Dazzling....This astonishing debut novel is a cause for surprise and celebration: smart, playful and self-possessed, it has the glitter and mystery of the true literary original....wherever the book falls open it's near-impossible to put down."—Guardian
"Uncommonly witty and bold....[The Rehearsalhas] a real knack for narrative and a cast of painfully familiar teenage characters who are all desperate to be as confident, cool, charismatic and funny as possible. These are qualities that the extraordinary Eleanor Catton has in spades."—The Times of London
"Startlingly original."—Time Out of London
"The Rehearsalis a significant debut novel from an exciting young writer. Eleanor Catton is a new talent who has arrived fully formed, with an accomplished, confident and mature voice. This is a startling novel, striking and strange and brave."—New Zealand Listener
"This is a daring book, full of velvety pleasures but never afraid to show its claws. Eleanor Catton is crazily talented and insightful--and best of all, she makes language seem new."—Emily Perkins,author of Not Her Real Name and Other Stories

"This
is
a
mesmerizing,
labyrinthine,
intricately
patterned
and
astonishingly
original
novel.
It's
really
something
else
entirely.
I
suppose
if
you
need
a
point
of
reference,
you
might
say
it's
as
if
Miss
Jean
Brodie
got
lost
in
Barth's
funhouse.
But
really
it
has
no
comparison.
WithThe
Rehearsalyou
get
the
style,
the
sophistication,
the
boundless
possibility
and
the
narrative
pleasures
that
make
up
any
good
novel,
but
you
get
a
bonus,
too:
a
glimpse
into
the
future
of
the
novel
itself."
—Joshua
Ferris"A
wonderful
debut
by
a
truly
exciting
new
writer--The
Rehearsalis
compulsively
good
and
while
at
the
same
time
being
immensely
readable
it
also
continually
calls
into
question
the
relationship
between
so-called
'reality'
and
fiction,
and
the
very
nature
of
truth
itself."

Atkinson"Dazzling....This astonishing debut novel is a cause for surprise and celebration: smart, playful and self-possessed, it has the glitter and mystery of the true literary original....wherever the book falls open it's near-impossible to put down."—Guardian
