TAPA DURA CON SOBRECUBIERTA. LUMEN CASTELLANO Observaciones : CONTIENE UNA PEQUEÑA ROTURA EN LA SOBRECUBIERTA INFERIOR. La historia de una mujer que mira la vida con ojos de animal herido y sabe cuál es el precio de la supervivencia. De un lado a otro he seguido sus pasos.La he oído como quien oye una canción.La seguí, descubrí las cosas que amaba y las que no, y todo eso me sirvió para conocer de verdad a mi madre. Apenas unas horas después de nacer, una niña ve partir a su madre hacia las montañas azules de Australia. La mujer cabalga como un torbellino para huir del pasado, para evitar ir a la cárcel y para escapar de un marido que la ha esclavizado. Esa madre no es una criminal como otra cualquiera: estamos hablando de la legendaria bandolera australiana Jessie Hickman, una amazona que vivió a principios del siglo XX e hizo lo indecible con tal de conquistar su libertad. Jessie se interna en las montañas, pero no lo hace del todo sola. Durante la huida, siempre la acompaña una voz llena de compasión: la de esa hija que no solo la perdona, sino que la anima a seguir corriendo y a ser la dueña de su propia vida. En la tradición de Cormac McCarthy y Flannery O'Connor, Un mal día para nacer es como un puñetazo inesperado, una vuelta de tuerca que pone en tela de juicio los tópicos sobre la sensibilidad femenina y los límites de la libertad: sus palabras se convierten en preguntas y se quedan clavadas en el ánimo del lector, ahí donde más duele. Reseña:«Esta novela, que nace del talento feroz de una escritora brillante, deslumbra, pasma y asombra.»Elizabeth Gilbert, autora de Come, reza, ama EN MUY BUEN ESTADO (SIN MARCAS DE USO).

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. It is the dawn of the twentieth century in Australia and a woman has done an unspeakable thing. Twenty-two-year-old Jessie has served a two-year sentence for horse rustling. As a condition of her release she is apprenticed to Fitzgerald 'Fitz' Henry, who wants a woman to allay his loneliness in a valley populated by embittered ex-soldiers. Fitz wastes no time in blackmailing Jessie and involving her in his horse rustling and cattle stealing enterprises. When Fitz is wounded in an accident he hires Aboriginal stockman Jack Brown to steal horses with Jessie. Soon both Jack Brown and Jessie are struggling against the oppressive and deadening grip of Fitz. One catastrophic night turns Jessie's life on its head and she must flee. From her lonely outpost, the mountains beckon as a place to escape. But first she must bury the evidence. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. For fans of Margaret Atwood and Holly Ringland, Bird is an unforgettable novel about hope and resilience from one of Australia's most exciting emerging writers.'You walk and the harvest moon casts the clearest of shadows. You are nervous. With a moon like that, it is not a night for escaping. It is a night made better for hunting runaway girls.' Himalayas: Unknown Year'Ten thousand strands of trouble,' is what Bird's father says, watching as Bird's sister braids her hair. On the eve of her fourteenth year, that trouble finds Bird. Fleeing her home to escape an arranged marriage, she attempts to vanish into a crowd of pilgrims - not knowing that violence is circling, and that it already has its eyes on her. In search of her own life and her own truth, she could never imagine how long and how far it would take her. Darwin: Present DayWaking in a hospital bed, Bird tries to remember what brought her here. A man whose gaze she knew to fear, a stolen car, a plastic gun, and a real bullet in her shoulder. Kindness is being offered here, so why is her instinct always to run? Strand by strand, she begins to remember . . . A masterful and profoundly moving novel about a girl determined to live on her own terms, no matter the cost. Bird is an unforgettable story of hope, resilience, the power of connection and the most elemental bonds.'Reading Courtney Collins' writing is an experience akin to falling under the spell of a song. An evocative, enchanting storyteller.' HOLLY RINGLAND'A magical, heartbreaking page-turner. In luminous prose, Courtney Collins explores the vagaries of growing up, the slipperiness of time and space, the complexities of family and friendship, creativity and self-determination. I loved it.' JENNIFER HIGGIE'Collins delivers propulsive but understated storytelling, with a refreshing focus on action instead of feelings . . . a gentle but deftly handled experience' THE SATURDAY PAPER 'A work of hope and resistance' WEEKEND POST'It's been a long time in the making, but Courtney Collins' latest novel, Bird, has been worth the wait . . . clear and engaging' NEWCASTLE HERALD'The Handmaid's Tale meets The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart . . . Bird tenderly explores womanhood intergenerationally through a lens of community, hope and resilience' BOOKS+PUBLISHING Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.
