Posy Simmonds

    9 augustus 1945

    Rosemary Elizabeth Simmonds, bekend als Posy Simmonds, is een Britse cartooniste en auteur die wordt geprezen om haar graphic novels en kinderboeken. Haar werk kenmerkt zich door zachte satire op de Engelse middenklasse, met name op literair ingestelde individuen. Simmonds haalt vaak inspiratie uit gothic novels uit de 18e en 19e eeuw, die ze doordrenkt met een ironische, modernistische gevoeligheid. Haar verhalen bevatten vaak gedoemde heldinnen, die de complexiteit van het moderne leven met humor en inzicht verkennen.

      Cassandra Darke is an art dealer, mean, selfish, solitary by nature, living in Chelsea in a house worth £7 million. She has become a social pariah, but doesn’t much care. Between one Christmas and the next, she has sullied the reputation of a West End gallery and has acquired a conviction for fraud, a suspended sentence and a bank balance drained by lawsuits. On the scale of villainy, fraud seems to Cassandra a rather paltry offence – her own crime involving ‘no violence, no weapon, no dead body’. But in Cassandra’s basement, her young ex-lodger, Nicki, has left a surprise, something which implies at least violence and probably a body... Something which forces Cassandra out of her rich enclave and onto the streets. Not those local streets paved with gold and lit with festive glitter, but grimmer, darker places, where she must make the choice between self-sacrifice and running for her life.
