A couple drive from London to coastal Provence. Anya is preoccupied with what she feels is a relationship on the verge; unequal, precarious. Luke, reserved, stoic, gives away nothing. As the sun sets one evening, he proposes, and they return to London engaged.

But planning a wedding does little to settle Anya’s unease. As a child, she escaped from Sarajevo, and the idea of security is as alien now as it was then. When social convention forces Anya to return, she begins to change. The past she sought to contain for as long as she can remember resurfaces, and the hot summer builds to a startling climax.

Lean, sly and unsettling, Asylum Road is about the many borders governing our lives: between men and women, assimilation and otherness, nations, families, order and chaos.

What happens, and who do we become, when they break down?©2021 Olivia Sudjic (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Literatura de género Narrativa literaria

Reseñas de la crítica

Sudjic seems to be writing not with words but somehow with the absences between them. This book feels like the breakdown not only of a character but of, as you read, the reader. I will go wherever she takes me. A phenomenal book
A caustic, claustrophobic – and distinctly European – reinvention of the road novel ... Sudjic is a cartographer of menace
Asylum Road is also the work of a literary voice maturing…it is taut and propulsive…masterful and wicked
Confident and timely ... Asylum Road shows Sudjic confidently expanding the reach of her fiction, with an unerring instinct for asking timely questions
A fragmented, unsettling story, and an interesting meditation on modern relationships, families, guilt and what happens when escape starts to feel more like exile
Admirable ... A novel pervaded by a genuinely unnerving sense of anxiety, dread and unease ... Reaches a gloriously near-unhinged intensity ... As Sudjic so expertly illustrates, sometimes there’s not a lot of difference between taking and losing control.
Sly, unsettling and supremely accomplished
I adored this beautifully written, powerful exploration of how past trauma is never far from the surface, however deeply one tries to stifle it ... Deep, accomplished and often thought-provoking
A smart and sensitively layered story ... Sudjic’s novel is full of raw emotion and visceral description ... This is a book about the gaps in our collective experience, and the tension that fills them. It’s about memory and identity and things left unsaid
Haunting and haunted ... Sudjic coolly executes a climax as treacherous and unexpected as a hairpin bend.
An early treat
Haunting and haunted ... Sudjic coolly executes a climax as treacherous and unexpected as a hairpin bend
Sudjic’s writing is hers alone and in this unsettling, disturbing and piercing novel, she tells the unravelling of Anya as she faces up to a past she’s tried to run from and a present that demands too much
A vivid picture of disintegration and suppressed trauma
Chilling
Asylum Road is a slick, treacly delight - by turns, blackly comic and heart-shattering. There is often the sense that the real story is happening between the words on the page, like the memory of a dream tucked in some nook of the mind, just out of reach but tantalisingly close if you could just angle yourself correctly to reach it
Carries echoes of Deborah Levy and Rachel Cusk. It’sa book about love and history, trauma and identity
The hot summer builds to a startling climax
Carries echoes of Deborah Levy and Rachel Cusk. It's a book about love and history, trauma and identity
A brilliant, scalding novel that is both intimate and restless, restrained and unpredictable. Sudjic’s prose is as elegant and searching as ever; her evocation of trauma and longing is sharp, intricately layered, impossible to forget
