The internationally bestselling author of Lying in Wait returns with a wickedly dark, twisted, and brilliantly observed new novel about an enigmatic woman confronting her unknown past. Reclusive Sally Diamond causes outrage by trying to incinerate her dead father. Now she’s the center of attention, not only from the hungry media and police detectives, but also a sinister voice from a past she does not remember. As she begins to discover the horrors of her early childhood, Sally steps into the world for the first time, making new friends, big decisions, and learning that people don’t always mean what they say. But who is the man observing Sally from the other side of the world, and why does he call her Mary? And why does her new neighbor seem to be obsessed with her? Sally’s trust issues are about to be severely challenged…
Olvasói vélemények összefoglalója
Readers largely describe Strange Sally Diamond as a dark, emotionally intense, and highly compelling reading experience. Liz Nugent’s writing is widely praised for its distinctive atmosphere, psychological depth, and ability to balance disturbing material with flashes of humor. Many found the book difficult to put down, while others appreciated its shifting perspectives and carefully developed characters, especially Sally’s unusual voice and gradual personal growth.
The novel’s treatment of trauma, abuse, isolation, mental health, and family dynamics makes it deeply affecting, though some readers found certain sections upsetting or even physically difficult to read. Opinions are divided on the genre classification: many embraced it as a gripping psychological thriller, while others felt it was better understood as a bleak, thought-provoking drama with less conventional thriller tension. A smaller group found the pacing slow or the overall experience unsatisfying, and some readers were divided about the ending, but the book is likely to appeal most to those seeking challenging, character-driven fiction with a disturbing atmosphere and unexpected humor.

Szerettem.
A befejezés (bár sajnos elég élethű) miatt vontam le fél csillagot.

Érdekes történet, arról, hogyan lehet az élet tragédiáját túlélni, vagy egyáltalán lehet-e. Egy ember gonoszságai hány másik ember életét teszi tönkre? Félelmetes
