Reseña del libro "Something Wonderful: Stories (en Inglés)"

A Most Anticipated Book of August at The MillionsFrom the Winner of the BBC National Short Story Award“Jo Lloyd has drawn out all the intensity and latent power of short fiction. . . . A major talent.” ―Hilary Mantel“Her sentences could rouse the dead (and do, in this excellent book).” ―Karen RussellIn Something Wonderful, prize-winning author Jo Lloyd has crafted nine stories that delight in language and shine with wit, wisdom, and deep humanity. Whether seeking knowledge, riches, or a better life, the characters in this debut collection are united by a quest for lasting value, as they ask how we should treat our world, our work, our selves, and each other in both past and present. A vainglorious mine owner dreams of harnessing all of nature to the machinery of commerce. Two women hunt rare butterflies in a pre-First World War landscape already experiencing the first bites of biodiversity loss. A young man tracks down the father who abandoned him inside a festival exhibit. A rural Welsh community is fascinated and angered by glimpses of its invisible, wealthy neighbors.Clear-sighted and lyrical, compassionate, and full of truth, Something Wonderful from Jo Lloyd, winner of the BBC National Short Story Award, announces a remarkable new voice with a sensibility all her own.
