Festival of Miracles (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

Festival of Miracles is Alice Tawhai's first collection of stories and is skewed, beautiful and deep.Tawhai's New Zealand is layered, complex and full of bright flashes, like phosphorous in the waters. Her imagery is as fresh and odd as a child's. Her characters are Maori, Italian, Lebanese and Japanese.In this collection of short stories Alice Tawhai has created a bittersweet New Zealand wonderland at once luminous and beautiful, tragic and fated. The stories in Festival of Miracles are set in small towns and cities from the Hokianga to Bluff. The circus workers, tattoo artists, bikies, mail-order brides, beautiful victims, wild children, immigrants and tangata whenua of Festival of Miracles bespeak the arrival of an exciting new talent.Chosen by The Listener reviewers as one of the best books of 2005.
