Four by Four by Sara Mesa
The children who attend Wybrany College are either wealthy, or somehow special. The cloistered school appears to be a safe haven from the chaos which overwhelms the city outside - but the college has its own agenda, and something wicked lurks just beneath the surface.
‘Sara Mesa’s writing is mysterious and fascinating: her characters brush against the limits in environments of fierce false calmUn Amor is one of her best novels – tense and beautiful like a crouching bird.’
– Mariana Enríquez
‘When I read Sara Mesa, I’m there in the Wild West, sifting through the sand. There is a restless enjoyment, an inhospitable beauty, in my sieve. And then something miraculous when gold appears before my eyes.’
– Eva Baltasar
‘Sara Mesa sees the world through the lens of power, exploring how questions of strength and weakness shape human behaviour.’
– Annie McDermott, The TLS
