A Skinful of Shadows is the stunning story of a young girl\'s quest to shape her own destiny from Frances Hardinge, the author of The Lie Tree, winner of the Costa Book Award 2015.
Klappentext:
Par. Shortlisted for Waterstones Book of the Year 2017.
\'A Skinful of Shadows confirms Hardinge\'s status as one of our finest storytellers. It\'s rare to find a book which is every bit as intelligent and stylish as it is riveting - I was enthralled\' - Sarah Perry, author of The Essex Serpent.
Frances Hardinge weaves a dark, otherworldly tale in A Skinful of Shadows, her first book since the Costa Award-winning The Lie Tree.
When a creature dies, its spirit can go looking for somewhere to hide.
Some people have space inside them, perfect for hiding.
Makepeace, a courageous girl with a mysterious past, defends herself nightly from the ghosts which try to possess her. Then a dreadful event causes her to drop her guard for a moment.
And now there\'s a ghost inside her.
The spirit is wild, brutish and strong, but it may be her only defence in a time of dark suspicion and fear. As the English Civil War erupts, Makepeace must decide which is worse: possession - or death.Par.
Rezension:
