Acerca de este título
'[A] reminder about what it means to be alive . . . with razor-sharp prose and diction so precise' MORGAN TALTY
'Read it and be changed' B. PLADEK
Something terrible has happened.
In a mysterious apartment filled with ghosts, our unnamed narrator attempts to explain this to her child - how do I talk about this? she wonders.
The truth must become something beautiful. We must begin with a fairy tale.
And so she begins to construct a beautiful fairy tale for her child - one that begins with a strange baby boy whose nails grow too fast and whose skin smells of soil. As he grows from a boy into a man, a plague seems to follow him everywhere. Tragedy strikes in cycles - and wife after wife, death after death, plague after plague, every woman he touches becomes a ghost. These ghosts call out desperately to our narrator as she tries to explain, in the very real world, exactly what has happened to her.
And they all agree on one thing, an inescapable truth about this man, this powerful lord who has loved them and led them each to ruin:
If you leave, you die. But if you die, you stay.
A debut novel as emotionally poignant as it is fiercely smart, Sour Cherry is an arresting debut examining toxic masculinity through its chorus of women - deconstructing the idea of what makes someone a monster.©2025 Natalia Theodoridou
Reseñas de la crítica
Natalia Theodoridou's novel Sour Cherry delivers its story - the gentle truth or reminder about what it means to be alive, what it means to feel - with razor-sharp prose and diction so precise it is impossible to misunderstand. Reading Sour Cherry did not remind me of great writers. No. It was like I discovered a new one. 'Masterwork' is used so often when discussing a book, and so I'm not going to say it's a masterwork: Sour Cherry is diamond work, a treasure chest filled with objects from another world but made familiar to any reader. Only a standout, talented writer can pull this off. Sour Cherry is a remarkable novel, and one I will never forget. (Morgan Talty, author of NIGHT OF THE LIVING REZ)
A murder ballad sung in a dark room - it's slow, haunting and strangely beautiful . . . Theodoridou's lyrical prose takes otherwise disposable lines and turns them into poetry . . . this hallucinatory novel is a sad, violent, horrible delight.
If you love Kelly Link, Angela Carter, and Carmen Maria Machado, then Natalia Theodoridou is your new favorite author. Sour Cherry is a hell of an impressive debut. Subversive, haunting, fantastical but all too real and relevant. (Benjamin Percy, author of THE NINTH METAL)
Masterfully crafted . . . Like a magic eye picture, Sour Cherry is a horror or thriller when viewed at one angle but, tilted ever so slightly, it's a myth, legend or bedtime story. It's a tale of buried pain personified as a curse, a beast, a pestilence that follows the family, the bloodline. The fairy tale style only serves to make the truths within it truer. Beautiful and harrowing . . . With a writing style that had me mesmerised from the first page, Theodoridou has an amazing talent for storytelling that's so effective that the ending - while predictable and maybe even unavoidable - still stunned me and moved me to tears.
This gorgeous book will enthrall you like a spell that you cannot nor will you wish to escape. An extraordinary, hallucinatory accomplishment. (Karen Joy Fowler, author of BOOTH)
A folktale, a whisper, and a dream all at once, Theodoridou's debut is beautifully told in rhythmic, singing prose. Sour Cherry is unforgettable - one of my absolute favorites of the year. (Rory Power, author of WILDER GIRLS)
