Медведь (2021) Мариан Энгель

Bear

A strange and wonderful book, plausible as kitchens, but shapely as a folktale, and with the same disturbing resonance.` -- Margaret Atwood `Bear,` she cried. `I love you. Pull my head off.` Lou is a librarian at the local Heritage Institute who lives a mole-like existence, buried among maps and manuscripts in her dusty basement office. The chance to escape the monotony of her city life comes when she is summoned to a remote island to inventory the late Colonel Jocelyn Cary`s estate. Hoping for an industrious summer of cataloguing, Lou heads north. Colonel Cary left behind many possessions, but no one warned her about the bear. After a tentative start, Lou soon begins to anticipate the animal`s needs for food and company. And, as summer blooms across the island, she discovers that the bear might satisfy some needs of her own. `A wild, charming, funny and odd book, half folktale but totally grounded in reality too. I love to read a book and be totally mystified how the author pulls off that delicate balance.` --Megan Nolan, author of Acts of Desperation `I loved this book. Compelling, sexy, brilliant.` --Daisy Johnson, author of Sisters
