Rezensionen

Praise for Mamele

'Mamele won my heart. A complex story about motherhood, inheritance and the things we're willing to forsake in the name of desire. Reeves' prose is muscular and moving - a triumph.' AMY TWIGG, author of Spoilt Creatures

'A haunting novel, deeply felt and melodically composed, which asks the question: can we escape the fate our families assign us? Overwhelming and seductive.' LUCIE ELVEN, author of The Weak Spot

'One of the best books I've read in a while - one of those rare, perfect novels where I found myself hurrying back to it but also dreading its end. The characters are alive, gleaming with truth and nuance. The prose is deft, moving, full of surprise. A real triumph; it deserves to soar.' ELIZABETH MACNEAL, author of The Doll Factory

_'I absolutely adored the sensual journey Mamele took me on. Gemma's prose is immersive. It is such a personal story, yet, it feels like a journey of discovery - as Edie tells us her story, she is discovering the truth of it for the first time. Mamele is fresh and daring.' KATE SAWYER, author of The Stranding

'There's a wonderful rhythm to Gemma Reeves' writing, which is thoughtful and poised and pulled me along from the first page to the last. I found Mamele to be a mesmerising and deeply felt novel about mothers and daughters, inheritance, art, intimacy and desire. I'll be thinking about it for some time' CHLOE ASHBY, author of Wet Paint and Second Self
