Produktbeschreibung

The Virgin Suicides meets The Florida Project in this wildly original debut-a coming-of-age story about the crucible of girlhood, from a writer of rare and startling talent. We would not be born out of sweetness, we were born out of rage, we felt it in our bones. In Falls Landing, Florida-a place built of theme parks, swampy lakes, and scorched bougainvillea flowers-something sinister lurks in the deep. A gang of thirteen-year-old girls obsessively orbit around the local preacher's daughter, Sammy. She is mesmerizing, older, and in love with Eddie. But suddenly, Sammy goes missing. Where is she? Watching from a distance, they edge ever closer to discovering a dark secret about their fame-hungry town and the cruel cost of a ticket out. What they uncover will continue to haunt them for the rest of their lives. Through a darkly beautiful and brutally compelling lens, Dizz Tate captures the violence, horrors, and manic joys of girlhood. Brutes is a novel about the seemingly unbreakable bonds in the 'we' of young friendship, and the moment it is broken forever.

Rezensionen

An impressive [read], thanks to Tate's almost frightening powers of description. It has been a long time since I read a novel that so viscerally evoked a feeling of place... it's the America of Nabokov's Lolita on acid... With its plot twists, grotesque horror and cartoonish villains, Brutes is a novel that refuses to be reasonable. That's part of its unsettling charm... An astonishing debut that will burrow under your skin. Sunday Times
