Stay: A Novel (Aud Torvingen) - Nicola Griffith

Descriere Stay: A Novel (Aud Torvingen) - Nicola Griffith

\nAud Torvingen returns--against her better instincts--scarred, heartbroken, changed, but tougher and rougher than ever. \n \nRaw with grief, Aud Torvingen wants nothing to do with the world. She is rebuilding a log cabin in the \nmiddle of the Appalachians, refusing the efforts of anyone who wants to reach her. \n \nUntil Dornan, Aud's only real friend, asks her to track down his runaway fiancée, Tammy. Aud has no \nlove for or faith in Tammy, but she feels obliged to help--and first on the streets of New York City, and \nthen deep in the woods of Arkansas, she finds herself up against Karp, a sociopath so artful that the law \ncan't touch him. Fortunately, Aud has no love for or faith in the law, either--she prefers other tools. \n \nBut perhaps even more dangerous to Aud than Karp are Aud's own demons. \n \nAs arresting as a razor at the throat, Nicola Griffith's Stay is a ferocious masterpiece of literary \nnoir, a stunning juxtaposition of beauty and brutality. In its pages Griffith fuses Aud's steely moral \nauthority with a new, ever-evolving emotional depth.\n \n \nAud Torvingen returns--against her better instincts--scarred, heartbroken, changed, but tougher and rougher than ever. \n \nRaw with grief, Aud Torvingen wants nothing to do with the world.
