Produktbeschreibung

'Powerful.' DAILY TELEGRAPH '[Ross] is a master of detail.' TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT 'A literary rollercoaster.' PEOPLE 'Chillingly real . . . unforgettable.' BOOKLIST From a singular voice: a gripping and deeply moving story of grief and memory. 1990s New York: Tony Pellar - a man of former style and fading beauty - now lives in the subway tunnels. From this place of darkness, Tony fights for his sanity as his mind overflows with memories of Agatha, a woman he calls the Soul Snatcher. Following the lost thread of his life story back to 1960s North Carolina, Ross unravels a tangle of hurt and lies with two interconnected tales: that of Mikey, his wealthy childhood best friend, and of Agatha - a complex woman with a heart full of painful secrets. Orange Laughter is a story of old prejudice and shattered innocence, and a vivid reminder of the importance of storytelling as a way to heal individual and collective memory. Readers loved Orange Laughter: 'Masterful! The ride is intriguing with twists and turns and a huge dose of the unexpected. This novel will enchant, surprise and mystify; but ultimately, it will satisfy.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 'A page-turner! I could not put it down, I read it all in one sitting. The author's touch is as beautiful as it is sure. A masterpiece of storytelling. Her characters live. Her prose sings. She is a writer of visions.' ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
