Andrée A. Michaud

    Andrée A. Michaud crafts a profoundly personal body of work that, since her first novel, has consistently garnered praise from critics and readers alike who are drawn to mystery. Her stylistic precision and ability to immerse readers in suspenseful narratives, often tinged with a noir sensibility, establish her as a standout voice in contemporary literature. Michaud delves deeply into character psychology, creating an atmosphere dense with tension and ambiguity that lingers with the reader long after the final page.

      In Scotiabank Giller Prize-longlisted author Andrée A. Michaud's genre-defying, ethereal mystery, a writer encounters her double and must grapple with an undetermined crime -- and her own identity. In the dubious sanctuary of a wintry forest, a writer encounters a woman who she suspects may be her double. So begins a journey of inquiry in which nothing, not even the author's own identity, is certain. Who is Heather Thorne? Is she a stranger dangerously out of place in the woods, the victim of an accident or of a crime? Who is the author? Is her own name not in fact Heather Thorne? Brimming with the snowy menace and mystery of the boreal woods, where nothing is ever entirely known, the celebrated and prize-winning Quebec noir novelist Andrée A. Michaud once again defies categorization in an ethereal story that is also a meditation on the very process of literary creation.

      Je léto 1967, u jezera ztraceného v hloubi hustého quebeckého lesa zmizí děvče. Najdou ji mrtvou, s nohou rozervanou od zrezlé lovecké pasti. Vyšetřováním se dojde k závěru, že šlo o nehodu: Zaza Mulliganová se prý stala obětí tichého lesa. Když se ale ztratí další dívka, je všem jasné, že kolem jezera obchází zabiják. Vybroušený styl ve službách tísnivé atmosféry a jemné psychologické sondy – to mnohé kritiky i čtenáře vede ke srovnání s Twin Peaks Davida Lynche. Autorka za román Bandury (Bondrée, 2014) získala několik literárních ocenění, především prestižní kanadskou Cenu Generálního guvernéra. Thriller z hlubin kanadských lesů.
