このコンテンツについて
'Original, darkly funny and addictive with twists that will leave you reeling' GLAMOUR
'An evocative story that deserves immediate cult status' DAZED
Alice has been cleaning Tom's flat every Wednesday for a year. With every smudge wiped from his coffee cup, every crease smoothed out in his bed, every multivitamin counted from the jar, Alice spirals deeper into infatuation. But as Alice prepares for the moment when they will finally meet face-to-face, she discovers that love might not be the cure she thought it was.
This Immaculate Body is a story of obsession, of the way women view the world and the ways that the world views them. As Alice frantically tries to cling to an imagined future with Tom, the line between fantasy and reality become ever more blurred, putting everything she has dreamed of at risk.
'A momentous, kaleidoscopic portrait of a woman on the edge. A wild ride from start to finish' HANAKO FOOTMAN, author of MONGREL
'Obsessive, delusional, disastrous - but so intricately woven with heart, warmth and empathy' ALICE SLATER, author of DEATH OF A BOOKSELLER
'Rich and delicious and evocative . . . an accomplished and visceral debut' KIRSTY CAPES, author of GIRLS
'Brilliantly tense' CATHERINE AIREY, author of CONFESSIONS

批評家のレビュー
Absurd, shocking, and deeply unsettling. After this darkly funny read, you may never feel so comfortable letting a stranger into your home again (Oyinkan Braithwaite, author of MY SISTER THE SERIAL KILLER)
Stirring to its very core, This Immaculate Body enthrals beyond measure. It bleeds, burns and beguiles, and asks you, dear reader, to give in to obsession. Truly, a religious experience (Lucy Rose)
A momentous, kaleidoscopic portrait of a woman on the edge. A wild ride from start to finish (Hanako Footman, author of MONGREL)
The relentlessness of Alice's slipping grip on reality hooks you . . . if this doesn't make you cancel your cleaner, nothing will
Written in an electric stream of consciousness, van Straaten's debut - which won the inaugural Women's Prize Discoveries ward - is as terrifying as it is heartbreaking, revealing how loneliness and damaging adolescent experiences can shape a person. A chilling book by an exciting new voice
A compelling debut . . . original, darkly funny and addictive this has twists that will leave you reeling
A thriller with a difference . . . A fascinating portrait of love, obsession and desire
A thriller as much as it is an exploration of how we present ourselves and perceive our material culture, this is an evocative story that deserves immediate cult status
Absolutely addictive. From the very first page, Emma Van Straaten had me by the Hail Marys. Obsessive, delusional, disastrous - but so intricately woven with heart, warmth and empathy. I'm as devoted to This Immaculate Body as Alice is to her delusions. An impeccable debut from a rising talent (Alice Slater)
Brilliantly tense (and at points very tender) descent into madness. I wanted to shout at Alice and I also wanted to hold her tight. Van Straaten's prose is unique - long sentences and paragraphs which fold the reader into Alice's close, procedural obsession. In lots of ways, it's a dark read, but Alice's hurt and hope is luminous. She's a deeply flawed girlie with a big beating heart (Catherine Airey)
Safe to say this is one of the best books I've read in a long time. It was addictive, unsettling, and propulsive, I was hooked after the first page. I will be recommending to everybody when it's out in February! (Chloe Michelle Howarth)
Truly fascinating and compulsive - transgressive with an ending that gave me whiplash. Emma's writing is gorgeous - rich and delicious and evocative even when uncomfortable. I found myself drawn to and repelled by Alice in equal measure, I couldn't tear my eyes away . . . an accomplished and visceral debut. I'm slightly concerned about how decisively Alice crawled into my head and has stayed there since I finished reading (Kirsty Capes)
