Krátky popis
From the author of A Ghost in the Throat, an unforgettable book -
both history and ghost story - that will leave you gasping by its
final page.'This book will be read for decades to come' Anne
Enright'Astonishing' Yiyun Li'Extraordinary . . . intimately
researched [and] wildly imaginative' Guardian'Incantatory . . .
Richly evocative and affecting' Financial TimesThe more she
learned, the more certain she became: this other world was alive
and true and trembling, and very close to her own.Now she had a
secretIn the city of Cork, a derelict Victorian mental hospital is
being converted into modern apartments. One passerby has always
flinched as she passes the place. Had she lived in another time,
she too might have found herself held within those walls.Now, she
notices a sign: FOR SALE.It is the first of many signs. Guided by
an irresistible impulse, she follows them. Soon, she is
trespassing, stealing, absconding from the routine of mother,
spouse, daughter, as she uncovers a chorus of startling voices:
those of the women who knew the hospital best. They murmur from
archives and old records. They haunt from stairwells and walls. In
them - and in one figure in particular -- she may find meaning and
solace, righteous anger, salvation even. Or her final vanishing?A
work of sublime intensity and tenderness, Said the Dead breaks the
boundaries between worlds -- past and present, imagined and real,
fact and fiction -- to make something new and lasting: an
experience full of danger, full of love and full of truth.What
readers are saying: 'The most extraordinary, moving book I've read
in ages, blending lyrical prose, history, deep research and lived
experience. I devoured it''This is truly the best book I have ever
read''I have been passionately recommending this book to so many
people, as it's so beautifully written, but also wildly ambitious
and unique''Spellbinding . . . unlike anything else I've
encountered''Read it, read it, read it. Then pick it up, and read
it again'Said the Dead was a no. 1 Irish Times bestseller w/e 23rd
