Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

Elsa is the final psychological portrait in Keller’s trilogy (after Maggie in Jackpot, and Sally in Retelling). In this novel, Elsa—and the reader along with her—is caught in a labyrinth of deceit and obsession. Her fears become ours as she questions and doubts them with escalating intensity.

Fusing Patricia Highsmith’s gift for sociopathic portraits with Jean Rhys’s woman-in-a-jam claustrophobia, the first two novels of Tsipi Keller’s trilogy-in-progress offer front-row views of obsessive characters who somehow manage to be scary and wildly engaging at the same time.

From Publishers Weekly (on Retelling)
The mystery of who butchered ethereally beautiful and pregnant Elsbeth is at the heart of Keller’s elegant and spooky second novel ... Keller flirts with the answer as her novel slips back and forth through time to depict tantalizing glimpses of possible truths filtered through Sally’s uncertain memories ... This opaque yet beguiling novel showcases the work of a talented and original writer.

From Publishers Weekly (on Jackpot)
A Bahamian vacation turns into a nightmarish dreamworld in Tsipi Keller’s smart, sly Jackpot ... Keller expertly charts Maggie’s transformation in this accomplished and oddly gripping novel.
