I know this is just a novella, but either this could have been extended to reflect more of the inner battle and torment, or less with the extra outside elements so the focus could be the inner battle. I really enjoyed the part of the "de-posession" ( ) I had the strangest experience with this book. I picked this audiobook randomly, simply because I love most of Sara Gran's books. As the book started it seemed oddly familiar. In the weeks before I read this book, I had a dream about Naamah, then in my waking life I had day dreams that were (now I realize) oddly reminiscent of The Possession Quiz, the tap-tap-tapping and the crimson beach. Obviously I must have read this book before... but I can't find any trace of the book on my e-reader, and I certainly don't have a hard copy laying around that slipped my mind. Is Naamah calling out to me? Should I contact my local spiritualist?

I guess it depends on one's point of view. The book is written from the main character Amanda's point of view, as she accounts for the days when she was introduced to, then stalked by a literal demon named Naamah. I did some research, and Naamah does indeed have a brief Biblical history that Gran uses in a unique and satisfying (although horrific) way. I like when I’m compelled to learn things from reading fiction, and this inspired that for me. Naamah represents a slippery slope of sin. She represents the burden of what it is to be a woman sometimes, but she also represents the karma from what happens when you mistake a beautiful woman as nothing more than a plaything, as the secondary player in the story of humanity. I don’t know, maybe I'm overhyping that analogy. But it feels right. It feels close. It's definitely something to think about after reading the book. sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha

A recurrent, unidentifiable noise in her apartment. A memo to her boss that's replaced by obscene insults. Amanda-a successful architect in a happy marriage-finds her life going off kilter by degrees. She starts smoking again, and one night for no reason, without even the knowledge that she's doing it, she burns her husband with a cigarette. At night she dreams of a beautiful woman with pointed teeth on the shore of a blood-red sea. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
