Report

'Ich träumte davon, dort zu bleiben, ich weiß. Und ich stellte mir vor, daß wir uns ein eigenes Haus aus Bäumen bauen könnten, mit einem Garten voller wilder Gräser, so daß niemand das Haus auch nur erahnen konnte... Wir würden unsere Sachen aus der Stadt wegwerfen und als echte Mitglieder des Busches leben. Wie Baumstämme, Blätter.' Poetisch beschwört Kirsty Gunn die Sommer einer Kindheit, die Liebe zweier Geschwister und eine Unschuld, die fast beiläufig zerstört wird.
'Dieses Debüt hat den sicheren Ton eines Klassikers und die Anmut aus längst vergangenen Tagen. Eine zarte Novelle, die so leicht daherkommt wie seit Jahren keine andere.' (Rheinischer Merkur)
