“An audacious debut novel.”

I grew up in a family of crazy women living in Bremen, Germany. My advertisement career brought me to New York in my early twenties. After working at several large advertising agencies in the city, I left the rat race with three energetic kids (this is a loud, strong, ambitious kid). Being a full-time mother is the best work in the world. It is also the most difficult and is not always the most satisfactory. Then some magic happened: I found love for writing. During the few years that changed my life, I wrote my first novel "The Only Child".

I can not believe I can share it with you now! Knopf publishes "Only Child" in the United States and will be published in England by Mantle in March 2018. It will also be published in many countries around the world and translated into 16 other languages. I can not wait for you to read it.

When we met Zah Taylor, a six-year-old boy, in Rhiannon Navin's bold first novel "The Only Child", he and the other freshmen crouch in the closet. It is locked. But this is not a practice. The gunshot sounds like "the sound of the" Star Wars "game I play from time to time on Xbox," Zach believes. Zack brothers including Andy were murdered

In 2006, a young American representative Jonathan Littell published a bold literary work in recent memories. 900 pages of novel about the Holocaust. . It is called Les Bienveillantes and is written entirely in French except for some German bureaucratic terms. (Littell made a cyberpunk novel in English at the age of 21, and then gave it up as a boy.) Considering the hero of his choice, Les Bienveillantes says that marketers are "difficult selling points" It seems like what you call, but it will win the next most authoritative literary award in France, Prix Goncourt, and will receive about 700,000 copies. It was then translated into 17 languages ​​including English to become The Kindly Ones

It is the first novel that allows you to sit and see. In recent years, I have read some mature and completed debuts. Regardless of the appearance, I've read a few novels, but not only has it filled well with such energetic and creative works but also combines most of their different and sometimes busy novels well It was. A novice engineer Abelard works for the power of driving the temple of Kos Everburning, the gods of Alt Coulumb, on the night of his death. As her crafts were driven out of the hidden school and fell to 1000 feet above ground, we first met Tara Abernathy - even if her teacher did not graduate before

In addition to this conscious adjustment to invisible people, this impressive debut includes diversity like Whitman. Sympathizers can be seen as novels about spy novels, war novels, immigrant novels, ideological novels, political novels, campus novels, cinema novels, movie novels, and other novels. This overmixing leads to occasional mistakes, but it has little or no effect on larger results. Bold, original and global consciousness of the Vietnam War and its intertwined private and public heritage. In fact, the content of this book is the opposite of Tim O'Brien's "what they have". This short film, cool essay has been a literary department of American literature for a long time. Description
