Notes on Surviving the Fire: A razor-sharp, darkly funny literary novel about male violence, a woman's vengeance, and whether killing can ever be justified

'Savage, brilliant, merciless and mad as hell' FINANCIAL TIMES 'A thriller's bones, a satire's glare, and a comeuppance story's anarchic spirit' NEW YORKER 'Lives up to the hype' SUNDAY TIMES STYLE Nathan says he loves me because I let him see me, and he knows how hard that is. He appreciates that I let him in. I say I love him because he is not a dick, in a world full of dicks. Sarah Common is a survivor. She survived the brutal Maine winters where she learned to hunt; she survived the petty politics of the university where she teaches; she survived the fact that her attacker escaped justice and still walks free around campus. Or at least that's what she tells herself. Nathan was the only person who believed what happened to Sarah. And now Nathan is dead. For Sarah to survive once again, she must find out what happened to Nathan - and decide whether, this time, she should seek justice . . . or revenge. More praise for NOTES ON SURVIVING THE FIRE : 'A seething, fearless story wound so tight I held my breath from page one. Brilliant!' - NATALI SIMMONDS, author of GOOD GIRLS DIE LAST 'Murphy writes with the nimbleness of a hunter: muscularly and with precision, while also propelled by undercurrents of cold, simmering fury and hot, big-hearted empathy.' - AUBE REY LESCURE, Women's Prize-shortlisted author of RIVER EAST RIVER WEST 'Furious, fast-paced, emotionally resonant and memorable. I'll be thinking about this one for a while yet.' - ILANA MASAD, Los Angeles Times EAN: 9781035411405 Farbverschnitt: Generell werden die Bücher ohne Farbverschnitt geliefert, auch wenn die Abbildungen einen Farbverschnitt zeigen.
