Olivie Blake

    27 augustus 1988

    Olivie Blake is een toegewijde verhalenverteller wiens verhalen zich vaak verdiepen in het fantastische, het paranormale of het bovennatuurlijke, hoewel niet uitsluitend. Vaker verkennen haar werken de essentie van menselijkheid en de oneindig fascinerende complexiteit van leven en liefde. Blake's schrijven onderzoekt diepe vragen over bestaan en relaties met een scherp gevoel voor nuance en psychologische diepte. Haar onderscheidende stijl combineert bovennatuurlijke elementen met een doordringende blik op de menselijke psyche, waardoor werken ontstaan die nog lang na de laatste pagina resoneren bij de lezers.

    • From the no. 1 international bestselling author of The Atlas Six. 'Olivie Blake is a mind-blowing talent' - Chloe Gong Chicago, sometime. Two people meet in the armory of the Art Institute by chance. Prior to their encounter, he is a doctoral student who manages his destructive thoughts with compulsive calculations about time travel; she is a bipolar counterfeit artist undergoing court-ordered psychotherapy. After their meeting, those things do not change. Everything else, however, is slightly different. Both obsessive, eccentric personalities, Aldo Damiani and Charlotte Regan struggle to be without each other from the moment they meet. The truth - that he is a clinically depressed, anti-social theoretician and she is a manipulative liar with a history of self-sabotage - means the deeper they fall in love, the more troubling their reliance on each other becomes. Alone With You in the Ether by Olivie Blake is a glimpse into the nature of love, what it means to be unwell, and how to face the fractures of yourself and still love as if you're not broken. Reader reviews for The Atlas Six: 'The most brilliant, immersive, magic-made-real book I've ever read!' 'Deftly woven plot and amazing ensemble cast' 'Believe the hype! Absolutely fantastic!'
