Recenzii

A propulsive and compelling novel, worthy of comparisons to Walter Mosley ... Locke's exploration of Matthews's predicament digs deep into the tension between "the impulse to police crimes against black life and to protect black life from police". It is buttressed by passages of gorgeous lyricism, with loving, elegiac evocations of Texas
Attica Locke's magnificent new novel, Heaven, My Home, is set on the side of a lake where this small community struggles to survive, encroached on by angry white men who deal in drugs and stolen goods ... shines an unflinching light on an ugly side of contemporary America
Attica Locke combines a searingly exciting story with an intelligent exploration of racial prejudice in the US, righteously angry, but never simplifying the issues involved
The most celebrated African-American writer of crime fiction. Although her books are about the black experience in the US, they are universal in scope ... a consummate storyteller
One of America's finest crime novelists ... a beautifully wrought mystery and an incisive portrait of the American South in the age of Trump
A tightly plotted crime novel centring on the disappearance of a child, and a blistering look at race in Donald Trump's America
A superb thriller
A powerful, angry, important book. Attica Locke is a major talent
Highly charged and fantastically drawn
Locke deftly shows how crime novels are the perfect place in which to explore the tensions between different people and communities. Her insightful exploration of a post-Trump world offers something genuinely new
Incredible
