House Woman
批評家のレビュー
‘HOUSE WOMAN unfurls bloody truths about the lives of girls and women in language that writhes and burns on the page. A jaw-dropping debut of intimate horror perfect for fans of Silvia Moreno-Garcia and Daisy Johnson’ Amy Gentry, author of BAD HABITS
‘Deliciously sinister, HOUSE WOMAN engulfs in slow, insidious waves. This novel is compellingly paced and alive with searing detail. Though woven through familiar elements of Nigerian diasporic literature, Nworah's prose quickly, provocatively subverts expectations. With characters who are flawed as flesh and a plot that twists and snatches from one terrifying brink to another, HOUSE WOMAN is fresh and thoroughly enjoyable. I'm just jealous that I didn't write it!’ Francesca Ekwuyasi, author of BUTTER HONEY PIG BREAD
‘An unflinching, unforgettable slow-burn thriller, HOUSE WOMAN reveals searing truths about women’s bodily autonomy and the hidden Gothic horrors of marriage while refusing to provide any simple answers – and the novel is all the more satisfying for it. Adorah Nworah is a stunning literary talent, and her debut will enthral you, incense you, and haunt you forever’ Layne Fargo, author of THEY NEVER LEARN
あらすじ・解説
‘Magnificently horrifying’ Daily Mail
‘Gripping’ Glamour
‘Impressive and moving’ Irish Times
My name is Ikemefuna Nwosu, and I am your wife.Young dancer Ikemefuna is put on a plane from Lagos to Houston to meet her new husband, Nna. Promises are made to her – about her education, her freedom, and the man she will marry.
None of them are kept.
Self-professed feminist Nna finds a beautiful woman cooking in his parents’ kitchen. They tell him Ikemefuna is there to give them the grandson they’ve been waiting for. She appears obedient, malleable.
But she is no ordinary wife.
Under the increasingly strained pressure of the Texas heat, desperation makes people do strange and violent things…
‘Unique, bold and unsettling’ Aiwanose Odafen
‘Claustrophobic and very disturbing’ Guardian
‘Unflinching, unforgettable’ Layne Fargo
