The Natashas by Yelena Moskovich
Beatrice, a solitary young jazz singer from a genteel Parisian suburb, meets a mysterious woman named Polina.
A brave, original work.. Moskovich's prose radiates with heat... written in a Cubist jumble of voices, languages, and textures, The Natashas reads as if one were spinning a radio dial of the world... [it] urges the reader to sink back in, connect, breathe. -- Lauren Elkin * Financial Times *
Beautiful, original and distinctive - a stunning new voice -- Jenni Fagan
A surreal and distinctively written exploration of identity... wonderfully original. -- Kirsty Logan * Guardian *
A haunting, unknowable novel, and no less beguiling for that. * Daily Telegraph *
Confounding and beguiling in equal measure; prose that reads as heady yet ephemeral as smoke. -- Lucy Scholes * Independent *
Feels like a feminist Murakami novel, transported to the jazz clubs of Paris ... The Natashas is an enjoyable breath of fresh air. It deserves to be big. * For Books' Sake *
A hallucinatory torrent of imagery and ideas that moves entirely according to its own rules. -- Alastair Mabbott * The Herald *
A surreal, unknowable novel, reminiscent of a David Lynch film. * Irish Times *
