'WHAT A BOOK. IT'S SO STRANGE AND MAGICAL AND THE WRITING IS JUST BEAUTIFUL. I LOVED IT.' Louise O'Neill

'ENCHANTING AND ILLUMINATING' Carys Bray, author of A Song For Issy Bradley

'LIKE WALKING THROUGH A MIRROR.' Rachel Joyce, author of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry

'THIS BOOK IS FULL OF CHARACTER AND MAGIC, AND I FOUND MYSELF MESMERISED' Claire Fuller, author of Our Endless Numbered Days

'THESE STORIES ARE WEAVED TOGETHER LIKE SILVERY FISHING NETS. LIKE SHIMMERING, JEWEL-BRIGHT WORLDS' Helen McClory

'These days, you can find anything you need at the click of a button.

That's why I bought her heart online.'

Spirits in jam jars, mini-apocalypses, animal hearts and side shows.

A girl runs a coffin hotel on a remote island.

A boy is worried his sister has two souls.

A couple are rewriting the history of the world.

And mermaids are on display at the local aquarium.

The Beginning of the World in the Middle of the Night is a collection of twelve haunting stories; modern fairy tales brimming with magic, outsiders and lost souls.

'I'm fascinated by storytelling, and particularly fairy tales. How humans have always tried to explain things that they can't possibly understand with, sometimes outrageous, stories' Jen Campbell

From the author of Weird Things Customers Say in Bookshops series and The Bookshop Book.

追了Jen的油管这么久,期待很高,看了以后反而失望。确实是诗化的写作但每个故事都缺点什么

最喜欢In the Dark和Margaret and Mary and the End of the World,前者有点像不久前才读的艾辛格尔,后者则有点how to be both的味道。作者语言非常简洁清爽,但是叙述口吻经常把握得不够到位,读第一篇的时候一直以为叙述者是个成熟女人,后来才发现是男性,挺破坏阅读体验的(读短篇集同名的时候也有类似的不协调感)。本来没有特别想读下去,但是第二篇的小男孩口吻又很惟妙惟肖,真的感觉很可爱才继续读了。之前就看到中译本要出的消息,说作者是卡特的“当代传人”,老实说有点搞笑了,差的不要太远。封面很好。
