Críticas
'A major talent. Kennedy has a near pitch-perfect voice and a feeling for the precise moment when stars move in the cosmos.' * Peter Temple * Kennedy's prose, line by line, is sharp, evocative and often poetic, but the measured precision of her storytelling... the right thing at the right moment: that's what makes fiction feel like life. * New York Times * Terrific stories narrated with confidence and grace, switching with ease from a 10-year-old boy's voice to a grieving young woman's. Imaginative...lyrical... powerful. An exceptional writer. * Sunday Herald * Note-perfect, ironic, mischievous stories * The Times *
Reseña del editor
Deftly evoking the strains of a dissolving relationship, or the ripple effect of a chance encounter, Cate Kennedy's crystalline collection opens up a world of finely observed detail. Her stories are populated by people at tipping points in their lives - moments that find them poised between a familiar past and an unfamiliar future. A cancer sufferer boards a plane with three kilos of cocaine in her luggage; a neglected wife plans an unsavoury revenge on her boorish husband; a woman helplessly watches her beloved partner slip into a coma. Each of these people must make a choice, and none is without consequence. Dark Roots reveals the regrets, successes and unintended ironies created by life's coincidences. It is a bravura collection, by turns moving, richly comic and, above all, unerringly human.
