Críticas:
?The writing is often brutally exquisite. Carrie?s numbered despair is very skillfully rendered, and the gradually accreting structure of the numerous flashback scenes carry an impressive raw emotional charge? Kirkus Reviews ?Klein?s delicate yet steely prose captures the complexities of fractured lives, while spinning a captivating yarn. An original and impressive slice of dark Americana? Big Issue ?One of the most disturbing and arresting books I have come across in some time... In muted and almost musical prose, eerily suspenseful but miraculously lacking in melodrama, Adam Klein?s novel charts the life of a strangely sympathetic character attempting to survive herself and her circumstances... [an] engrossing and beautifully written book? Observer
Reseña del editor:
Carrie hasn?t always made the best decisions in her life. But her affair with Victor, one of her clients when she worked as a caseworker in San Francisco, had disastrous results. Years later, handling cases in the midst of the frozen winters of the Mid-West, Carrie is assigned Hannah as a client. Carrie recognises in her a kindred spirit also trying to escape a troubled past. Both Carrie and Hannah know what it is to be surrounded by violence. They know the mental scars can last longer than any physical mark. As they try to work through their respective traumas, Carrie becomes increasingly aware that her past has, literally, come back to haunt her. Could that shadowy figure she?s seen be Victor, returning to claim her, and drag her back to her old life of addiction and crime? Or has he come back for revenge? Tiny Ladies is a stark and suspenseful novel about remorse, the ironies of intervention and the terrible courage it sometimes takes to start again.
