Recensione:
Aifric Campbell is one of my favourite Irish novelists and I love this book. It's written with seriousness, lightness, intelligence and insight, but most of all with great beauty and presence. (Joseph O'Connor)
Sexy, sad, riven with longing, The Loss Adjustor confirms a talent of unusual promise (Nicholas Shakespeare)
Campbell writes with lambent precision... a mesmerising study of a woman clinging to the knotted cord of adolescence, uncertain whether to go backwards or forwards (John O'Connell Guardian 2010-02-27)
Clear-eyed, lyrical... Campbell manages to infuse the cool, lucid language of narrator with some truly luminous descriptions of place and emotion... a book that demands to be taken seriously, both because of its ambitions and the beauty of its writing (Catherine Heaney Irish Times 2010-02-13)
So full of beautiful writing that even the insurance industry comes to life. From its beguiling first sentence - "I was born in a place that presumed departure" - to its simple, humane ending, it is beautiful to read. Aifric Campbell's language is rich and exact, never flowering into too much; she is concise without being dry, her characters painted in deft, tight strokes (Suzanne Harrington Irish Examiner 2010-01-09)
Campbell allows her disturbing story to seep out slowly and to deliver unnerving punches in this extremely well-paced novel (Mslexia 2010-01-04)
Aifric Campbell's absorbing second novel celebrates friendship past and present and the enduring hope of redemption (Waterstone's Books Quarterly)
Campbell's style is lyrical, revealing sharp, important truths with mesmerising intensity as Caro begins to embrace a future that is rich with possibility, hope and reconciliation (Eithne Farry Daily Mail 2010-02-26)
The imagery is evocative, the narrative well-paced and there is a genuine sense of sympathy with the main character. Thought-provoking (Scotsman 2010-03-15)
The flawless depiction of a life destroyed by the devastating loss of a loved one is testament to her skill as a writer (Jennifer Ryan Sunday Independent 2010-03-07)
