Monkey Beach - Softcover
Lisa is on the edge. Loved ones are dead, her brother has gone missing and ghosts keep appearing in her room. Her parents think she's gone mad and that her visions are the result of the drugs they suspect (rightly) she is taking. She knows the ghosts are real. Can she survive and find her brother?

About the Author:
Eden Robinson won the WINIFRED HOLTBY fiction prize in 1998 for TRAPLINES (non-fiction winner was Graham Robb's Hugo Biography). This is her first novel.
Review:
A graceful and impressive book * Times Literary Supplement * A wild, beautifully crafted story, which terrifies and warms the heart in equal measure * She * The accomplishments of this, her first novel, have made it well worth the wait ... Robinson's depictions of LisamArie's interior and exterior worlds are utterly persuasive. This isnt gothic sensibility at work here, nor sentimental, instead - as the hidden secrets of so many lives are revealed - there is a use of language at once sensuous yet also direct and uncompromising. Wonderfully readable and rereadable * Time Out * Combining pathos with biting humour, each of these beautifully created narratives has a sting * INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY * A young and striking voice - her writing is fresh and often harrowing * OBSERVER * A compelling literary voice ... Monkey Beach is pervaded by a powerful sense of menace, and the haunting spirituality that lurks in the beautiful landscapes of Canada's Pacific coast * Julie Wheelwright, INDEPENDENT * A subtle, brutal and compelling read * Esther Freud, author of HIDEOUS KINKY *
