Über diesen Titel
In the shadow of an ancient abbey nestled between rivers, Daniel is growing up. He is highly intelligent but little understood by his parents, and a secret passion burns inside him for love and recognition. When his father loses his job as the headmaster of the local school, his family stumbles into a rural life for which they are ill-prepared. Daniel’s sole solace is the arrival of Philip, a new boy at school, whom he worships with a confused intensity. Before long, both boys fall under the spell of a charismatic art teacher, setting Daniel on a perilous course that could lead to the betrayal of all he loves.
Tender, brutal, and enthralling, The Boyhood of Cain is a remarkable portrait of a young boy caught between mother and father, self and desire, and obedience and freedom. It evokes the passions and private wounds of youth, and plumbs the turning points in our lives that make us who we are.
Kritikerstimmen
"Amherst has Coetzee’s surface calmness, inner turbulence, understated emotion and muted wit...With The Boyhood of Cain, a star is born." –The Times
“Amherst’s words matter as they limn Daniel’s life in beautifully realized, psychologically acute, and nearly granular detail. [Daniel] is an unfailingly fascinating, memorable character. A reader can’t ask for anything more." –Booklist, STARRED REVIEW
“Amherst writes with a measured pace and careful attention to his youthful protagonist’s malleability as Daniel questions his sexuality and other supposed binaries of life. The result is an authentic depiction of youthful fears and confusions.” –Publishers Weekly
"Approaches this subject with skill and sensitivity... Amherst writes in a crisp fashion, eschewing unnecessary detail, which leads to a book that feels stripped down to its most essential elements... an interesting and unusual book." –John Boyne, Irish Times
“When Amherst embraces ambiguity, in the moments where Daniel must admit no answer is to be found, the novel contains the same eerie spark that makes the bildungsromans of Hermann Hesse crackle. A coming-of-adolescence novel that rigorously avoids cliche.” –Kirkus, STARRED REVIEW
"A powerful, searing tale told by a boy facing the plenitude of life but hemmed in by a world so…ordinary that he can’t wait either to flee it or be drowned in it." –André Aciman, author of Call Me By Your Name
"A beautiful and profound novel about a boy's coming to consciousness as his family falls apart. Utterly compelling and quietly devastating, I read this book with my heart in my mouth and could not put it down." –Mary Costello, author of The River Capture
"Told in a voice that is both bracing and embracing...Amherst delivers Danny's spellbinding story with rare sharpness, profundity and heart.” –Michael Donkor, author of Housegirl
"A gorgeous and propulsive portrait of the end of childhood...Beautifully written, with unwavering empathy and precise, perfect details, Amherst is a true talent. I loved it." –Anna Hogeland, author of The Long Answer
