Alicia Elliott
À propos de cet audio
*NATIONAL BESTSELLER*
*Indigenous Voices Award winner*
*Amazon First Novel Award winner*
*First Nations Communities READ Award winner*
*Longlisted for the Women's Prize for Fiction*
*Named a Globe and Mail and CBC Best Book of the Year*
From the bestselling author of A Mind Spread Out on the Ground comes a mind-bending, gripping novel about Native life, motherhood and mental health that follows a young Mohawk woman who discovers that the picture-perfect life she always hoped for may have horrifying consequences.
On the surface, Alice is exactly where she should be. She's just given birth to a beautiful baby girl, Dawn; her charming husband, Steve, is nothing but supportive; and they've recently moved to a wealthy neighborhood in Toronto. And yet, Alice feels like an imposter. She isn't connecting with Dawn, a struggle made even more difficult by the recent loss of her mother, and every waking moment is spent hiding her despair from her watchful white neighbors. Her growing self-doubt hinders the one vestige of her old life she has left: her goal of writing a modern retelling of the Haudenosaunee creation story.
At first, Alice is convinced her discomfort is of her own making, but then strange things start happening. She finds herself losing bits of time, hearing voices she can't explain, and speaking with things that should not be talking back to her, all while her neighbors' passive-aggressive behavior begins to morph into something far more threatening. Though Steve assures her this is all in her head, Alice cannot fight the feeling that something is very, very wrong, and that in her creation story lies the key to her and Dawn's survival. . . . She just has to finish it before it's too late.
Told in Alice's darkly funny voice, And Then She Fell is an urgent and unflinching look at inherited trauma, womanhood, denial, and false allyship, which speeds to an unpredictable—and surreal—climax.

For decades, the singular and provocative paintings by Cree artist Kent Monkman have featured a recurring character—an alter ego of sorts, a shape-shifting, time-travelling elemental being named Miss Chief Eagle Testickle. Though we have glimpsed her across the years in films and on countless canvases, it is finally time to hear her story, in her own words. And, in doing so, to hear the whole history of Turtle Island anew.

With her sixteenth birthday only days away, Winifred has settled into a lazy summer schedule, lugging her obese Chihuahua around the grounds in a squeaky red wagon to visit the neglected gravesides and nursing a serious crush on her best friend, Jack.

Ce que les critiques en disent
"And Then She Fell is at once engrossing and profound, terrifying and empathetic. Like The Bell Jar, it sheds new light on the trope of the mad woman, laying bare the million blows it takes to leave a person unhinged." —The Walrus
"And Then She Fell has drawn apt comparisons to Jordan Peele’s film Get Out. . . . The redemptive, heart-rending final act of the novel bends space and time to consider "the connection and love that slides between all hardship and gives even the toughest life humor, meaning, heart, heft"—flawed and damaged people still reach out their arms to catch one another when they fall." —Quill & Quire
"The mind of Alicia Elliott is a fascinating place to visit . . . [And Then She Fell] is a damn good read!" —The Globe and Mail

What a thriller!
This story had me hooked from the beginning. It takes some dark twists and turns that kept me guessing for sure. The depths of that darkness are described so vividly - it’s definitely disturbing and unflinching in the portrayal of the protagonist’s struggles. It gets intense and almost uncomfortable at times, but I think that’s the point. The commentary on the impacts of colonization and colonial mindsets is sharp and powerful. Without spoilers - I really liked the ending too. This story is a journey that kept me thinking after I finished it. ALSO, one of THE BEST audiobook performances I’ve ever heard. The narration is SO engaging and nuanced. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this story.

Vivid Palpable Genius
Elliott is an incredible storyteller. I loved how she wove the experience of a new mother, mental health, Indigenous identity, spiritual awakening, elements of horror, healing and hope into this story.
