Julia Darling

    Julia Darling bola spisovateľka, ktorej dielo skúmalo témy ľudského spojenia a odolnosti. Jej raná kariéra ako performatívnej poetky vniesla do jej písania dynamickú energiu a priniesla verše nečakanému publiku. Darlingovej próza sa často ponára do zložitosti vzťahov a tichých drám každodenného života, charakterizovaná jej ostrovtipom a bystrou pozorovateľnosťou. Jej literárne príspevky zahŕňali poéziu, poviedky a romány, zanechávajúc odkaz vhľadných a dojemných príbehov.

      When her mother is sent to prison for three months for assaulting a policeman with a stiletto shoe, fifteen-year-old Caris goes gently off the rails. Whilst her taxi-driver father Mac attempts to keep the family together, Caris meets George, a boy from the other side of the vale and from a very different sort of family. Their relationship leads her away from school and what she has known, into a new and unnerving world - and looks set to throw the family into terrifying chaos. Julia Darling's acclaimed novel blends the gritty and the everyday with the evocative and the enchanting, to create an original, inventive and often moving portrayal of family ties, suburban life, love and growing up.
