A proposito di questo titolo

Once upon a time, there was a tower on a hill, beyond the dark trees, somewhere north. An octagonal tower on two levels: glass upstairs and stone below, beneath a steep slate roof – a folly, it was said. According to locals, a young woman named Annie who fell ill was confined to the tower by her father for three years and died there, alone.

Fascinated by Annie's story, Thea Lenarduzzi attempts to piece the past together in a formidable act of imagination, which, tugging at the strings of the how, why and who of stories, begins to unravel the very idea of storytelling itself. Veering between fiction, memoir, fairy tale and folklore, The Tower is an extraordinary book about power, abuse and why we don't always tell the story we set out to tell.

Recensioni della critica

‘Thea Lenarduzzi works against the grain of her own and readers’ expectations in this graceful book, in which stories are dismantled so that new truths can be found. Beautifully considered: The Tower is both delicate and wise.’ — Anne Enright, author of The Wren, The Wren ‘A hybrid, shifting, searching work that applies pressure to the boundaries between forms before it crosses them, The Tower asks questions about stories, narrative and history – and our uneasy inheritance of them – that linger long after the book’s final pages. I couldn’t get it out of my mind.’ — Helen Charman, author of Mother State ‘A fascinating and shapeshifting book that is simultaneously a literary pursuit and a forensic examination of power, abuse and the human scope for mythologizing. The result is pure magic.’ — Catherine Taylor, author of The Stirrings
