Description

The Sunday Times Top Ten Bestseller and Booker Prize Longlisted novel Lanny by the author of Grief Is the Thing with Feathers.

There’s a village sixty miles outside London. It’s no different from many other villages in England: one pub, one church, red-brick cottages, council cottages and a few bigger houses dotted about. Voices rise up, as they might do anywhere, speaking of loving and needing and working and dying and walking the dogs.

This village belongs to the people who live in it and to the people who lived in it hundreds of years ago. It belongs to England’s mysterious past and its confounding present. But it also belongs to Dead Papa Toothwort, a figure schoolchildren used to draw green and leafy, choked by tendrils growing out of his mouth.

Dead Papa Toothwort is awake. He is listening to this twenty-first-century village, to his English symphony. He is listening, intently, for a mischievous, enchanting boy whose parents have recently made the village their home. Lanny.

Eine außergewöhnliche Geschichte über einen außergewöhnlichen Jungen!

Niemand sollte gewöhnlich sein, aber so außergewöhnlich wie Lanny zu sein ist eine Herausforderung für Lanny selbst und seinem Umfeld! Ich war sofort entzückt von diesem Kind, dass so anders ist als andere Kinder in seinem Alter. Genauso „anders“ hat Max Porter auch das Buch gestaltet, geschrieben und mich damit amüsiert, schockiert und verwundert zurückgelassen! Danke für dieses Leseerlebnis!
