Acerca de esta escucha

Tender, endearing, lyrical, surprising, and magical—think Hilary Mantel meets Sarah Winman with a dash of Philip Pullman—The Oxenbridge King is a delight, a true original.

Imagine, if you will: the lost soul of King Richard III; a talking raven; a lonely angel; and a young woman called Molly Stern, who is heartbroken, grieving, and a bit stroppy. When their worlds collide, anything can happen.

Richard III is trapped in the afterlife, waiting with his guide, Raven, for an angel to take his soul to Heaven. Though he's been between worlds for hundreds of years, up in the real world it's 2013 and Molly Stern has a broken heart from losing her father and a recent breakup. Leaving London, Molly goes home to seek solace from her Aunt Peggy and Uncle Frank in Oxenbridge. But there are strange noises in the basement of her childhood house and nothing feels right, not even between Peggy and Frank. When the angel encounters Molly—and Raven at last finds the angel—life and the afterlife meet, with surprising and unexpected consequences.

Inspired by the discovery of the bones of Richard III beneath a car park in England, award-winning poet Christine Paice has fashioned a beautiful, singular, warm, endearing, and funny novel that weaves in and out of time and space and possibility. The Oxenbridge King is a tender and wise meditation on what survives of us when we're gone, and how, in the end, love and family are everything.

'Completely original, such lovely, dreamy writing, every character a delight - I adored it' Jaclyn Moriarty

'A quirky delight, full of soul ... On paper, this book should not work. To explain it chronologically to another person, it sounds too bizarre to work. And yet, the polished and highly original way with words that has been applied to this novel make it sing. A surprising delight.' The AU Review

'Madcap ... irreverent ...whimsical .. this dizzying fable of a novel signals what it might mean to let happiness in' Australian Book Review
