A captivating and atmospheric historical novel about a young girl in Nazi Germany, a psychoanalyst in fin-de-siècle Vienna, and the powerful mystery that links them together. Gretel and the Dark explores good and evil, hope and despair, showing how the primal thrills and horrors of the stories we learn as children can illuminate the darkest moments in history, in two rich, intertwining narratives that come together to form one exhilarating, page-turning read. In 1899 Vienna, celebrated psychoanalyst Josef Breuer is about to encounter his strangest case yet: a mysterious, beautiful woman who claims to have no name, no feelings—to be, in fact, a machine. Intrigued, he tries to fathom the roots of her disturbance. Years later, in Nazi-controlled Germany, Krysta plays alone while her papa works in the menacingly strange infirmary next door. Young, innocent, and fiercely stubborn, she retreats into a world of fairy tales, unable to see the danger closing in around her. When everything changes and the real world becomes as frightening as any of her stories, Krysta finds that her imagination holds powers beyond what she could ever have guessed. Rich, compelling, and propulsively building to a dizzying final twist, Gretel and the Dark is a testament to the lifesaving power of the imagination and a mesmerizingly original story of redemption.

Voici la sombre et fascinante histoire de deux mondes parallèles. Vienne, à la fin du xXIXe siècle. Josef Breuer - célèbre psychanalyste - est sur le point d'être confronté au cas le plus énigmatique de sa carrière. Trouvée près d'un asile d'aliénés, maigre, la tête rasée, la jeune fille prétend n'avoir pas de nom, pas de sentiments - être, en fait, une machine revenue pour tuer le Monstre. Intrigué, Breuer est déterminé à comprendre les racines de ses maux. Quelque part en Allemagne, bien des années plus tard. Krysta est une petite fille dont la mère a mis fin à ses jours et qui tyrannise ses gouvernantes et son père, médecin dans un étrange dispensaire... Plongée dans le souvenir des contes de fées que lui racontait sa nounou d'antan, elle lutte pour trouver sa place quand, un matin, on découvre son père mort étranglé dans son lit. Désormais, la fillette est véritablement seule au monde, sans rien ni personne pour la protéger. Eliza Granville nous livre ici tout en subtilité un roman fascinant nourri de contes de fées revisités, dont la noirceur n'a d'égale que la réalité du nazisme, et où elle nous rappelle que l'imagination est plus puissante que la barbarie.
