Nalda Said (edit title)

Shelfari edited the description of Nalda Said Wednesday, August 5 2009.

• In his impressive debut novel, Stuart David creates a haunting world by powerfully capturing the mind of a lonely and disturbed young man. Nalda Said is a simple, modern fairy tale about a man who grew up in the strange seclusion of a shoddy caravan with an aunt whose magical storytelling has left him trapped between fantasy and reality, and nurturing a dark secret. Shy, solitary, and forever on the run, the narrator becomes a gardener at a hospital and gradually learns to trust one person enough to reveal the secret he has harbored for so long. Nalda Said is attracting great acclaim not because it is a book by the bass player of Belle & Sebastian, but because it's a fabulous novel. -- The Guardian Delicately written and achingly sad … if David ever gives up the day job, pop music's loss could well be literature's gain. -- The Times of London A touching, delicately crafted debut, reminiscent of A Catcher in the Rye in terms of the main character's inability to fit into stark daily reality. -- Impact Magazine By Stuart David. 5 x 8 in.
