Recenzii
The World Without Us was a revelation, a masterly story involving the refuge of silence, the fate of bees, and the shadows of old sins
Powerful and poetic . The slow unfolding of the truth, layer after layer, is superbly done; though this novel is too classy to pigeonhole as a thriller, it has all the pace and invention of the classic thriller. What makes it unforgettable is Juchau's sensitive portrayal of a family poleaxed by grief
Almost any page of this astonishing novel offers proof of a writer of great poetic power . An extraordinarily vivid novel, elegant, convincing, intelligent and profoundly moving
Understated and calm, and yet thoroughly captivating. Meticulously researched and vividly described, The World Without Us is detailed and emotionally fraught, its portrait of love and loss possessing an almost timeless quality. Juchau confirms an eternal concept: when the past holds such pain, and the future such dread, sometimes all one can do is muddle through the present
A bright, bracing marvel of a book . Her prose is a marvel of balance: witty and sensual, self-aware but not jaded, and capable of making poetry from anything
I was captivated by Juchau's extraordinary insight . She reminds us that life itself has a force that is difficult to suppress
The strength and poise of Juchau's writing ... Shows hers is obviously, a formidable talent that is capable of performing literary alchemy
Juchau's writing is lilting and poetic. She has a painterly eye; her descriptions of the natural environment are as finely wrought as her observation of human interactions
After reading The World Without Us you could turn the book over and start again. It's one of those novels that stays with you long after reading. Poignant and sad, yet poetic and uplifting, it's truly a novel of its time
In structuring its environmental themes around various mysteries, she creates constant suspense . The achievement of The World Without Us lies in its suggestion that our relationship to a changed environment is today's rather than tomorrow's story
A haunting tale of climate change and the effect of industry on the environment. Beautiful and sad
Wonderfully vivid writing and powers of description ... Juchau has a lyrical style and a great appreciation of the natural world ... The world emerges as a vast and bracing place, one that goes on - with or without us
Elegantly poised and controlled
