Critics Review
Full of delicious layers … I felt drunk reading it.
A sparkling debut … this is a very good plot-driven thriller dressed in a glittery jumpsuit. There are laugh-out-loud lines throughout. – Rhiannon Cosslett * Guardian *Truly original … Brutal, glamorous and genuinely unpredictable, it will blow your mind until the very last page. – Moya Crockett * Stylist *Fuelled by a creeping sense of unease, this is a wild, energetic gem of a novel that is entirely involving. – Fanny Blake * Daily Mail *Thrilling * Cosmopolitan *Hugely entertaining * New York Times *
Sharply observed and very funny … a worthy addition to the growing canon of outsider writing on Berlin … Henkel has an exacting eye for subtle situational humour, and she excels at describing the sorts of characters one encounters in the German capital … Calla Henkel cleverly manipulates expectations to build tension until the very end.
– Jessica Loudis * TLS *The most fun novel I’ve read this year … I kept reading late into the night to find out, enjoying every moment. – Laura Waddell * The Scotsman *Darkly funny, psychologically rich and utterly addictive. I couldn’t stop turning the pages …This is a debut you won’t want to miss. – Megan AbbottFull of delicious layers … I felt drunk reading it. – Emma Jane UnsworthOther People’s Clothes feels like reading a thriller by your most acerbic friend. – Rowan Hisayo Buchanan, author of Starling DaysA darkly funny crime thriller … Henkel draws up a dazzling and vaudevillian image of the artworld, one that feels all too strange and too real at once. * ArtNet *Gleefully raunchy * Washington Post *In Henkel’s exciting and visceral debut novel, two New York art students spend a year in Berlin, where they get caught up in a swirl of seedy nightclubs and cut-rate booze. Their toxic entanglement is the true star here, but there are plenty of wild revelations to keep a reader turning the pages * New York Times Book Review (Editor’s Choice) *About The Author
