CW: Sexual Content ( ) Maresi (The Red Abbey Chronicles 1) by Maria Turtschaninoff, translated into English by A. A. Prime (5 stars) ‘Hear her story. Never forget.’ Maresi is about 13 years old and has been at the Red Abbey for around 4 years when a new girl arrives, Jai. Jai is a little older than Maresi but she latches onto Maresi - they are two of the oldest girls at the abbey who have not yet been apprenticed to sisters as novices. Maresi has a kindly nature and takes care of Jai who arrives frightened, physically scarred and silent, and over time they become friends. Most of the girls and women on the island have been sent by their families to escape famine or persecution and a patriarchal society. In a world where girls and women aren’t allowed an education or to follow their own path, this island of learning and magic is a haven and a sanctuary. Jai however has been sent to the island against her violent father’s wishes. She knows he will hunt her down one day…. I hesitate to apply labels because this book is so much more, but essentially a Finnish feminist dystopian fantasy for young adults and adults. Turtschaninoff uses traditional female magic lore to create an incredible community of women and girls; a learning community, protected from the male-dominated outside world by their island defences and their folklore and mysticism. It’s an incredible story of friendship, community, courage, education, resilience and kindness. A future classic I hope. A feature film is in development by Film 4. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Críticas: «Es difícil no quedar impresionado con el mundo mágico de Turtschaninoff». «La novela es a la vez contemporánea y atemporal. Su feminismo inquebrantablees decididamente moderno [...]. Al mismo tiempo, da la sensación de ser auténticamente a No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
