The Careful Undressing of Love
あらすじ・解説
The girls of Devonairre Street have always been told they're cursed. Any boy they love is certain to die too soon. But this is Brooklyn in 2008, and the curse is less a terror and more a lifestyle accessory - something funky and quaint that makes the girls from the shortest street in Brooklyn special. They wear their hair long and keys around their necks. People give them a second look and whisper "Devonairre" to their friends. But it's not real. It won't affect their futures.
Then Jack - their Jack, the one boy everyone loves - dies suddenly and violently. And now the curse seems not only real but like the only thing that matters. All their bright futures have suddenly gone dark.
The Careful Undressing of Love is a disturbing and sensual story of the power of youth and the boundless mysteries of love set against the backdrop of Haydu's brilliantly reimagined New York City.
批評家のレビュー
"The Careful Undressing of Love is a book you relax into. For the first few pages, you’re picky, trying to sort Haydu’s magical world from our real one, and then it just takes you over. It’s weird until it’s not, and then it’s an examination of love and legacy and family, and the things girls do when we back them into corners and blame them for being there in the first place." (Number one New York Times best-selling author E. K. Johnston)
"Haydu explores such themes as differing expressions of grief, destiny versus free will, the unexamined expectation thata girl will love a boy, and the interrelation (or lack thereof ) between sex and love. The slight magical realism and parallel-world setting add to this wrenching novel’s lyricism - and make the pain somewhat easier to bear." (The Horn Book Magazine)
"A carefully layered exploration of the age-old question, 'Is it better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all?'" (Kirkus
