Pressezitat
An Elle "Best and Most Anticipated Fiction Book. So Far" - "Epic and nuanced....The three principal characters are richly drawn, and the author displays a formidable grasp on her historical setting. It adds up to a well-crafted story of women finding ways to survive against forbidding odds." - Publishers Weekly
"Pelican Girls is a marvelous achievement, an immersive and moving novel, as beautifully written as it is impeccably researched. I haven't been this swept away by a piece of historical fiction since Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet." - Jess Walter, bestselling author of Beautiful Ruins and The Cold Millions
"A tale of female friendship unlike any I've come across before, Julia Malye's inspired-by-a-true-story Pelican Girls is as incredible a feat of research as it is a daring work of fiction." - Elle
"To enter Julia Malye's work is to be completely transported. Every detail in your vision, touch of fabric against your skin, pulse of blood through your veins, is rendered so lush and evocative that reading this novel feels like absorbing a lifetime of experience. The rare page-turner that both entertains and enlightens, Pelican Girls is an undeniable achievement of research, storytelling, and human compassion. One of the best historical novels you will ever come across; this book is an absolute gift." - M.O. Walsh, NYT bestselling author of My Sunshine Away and The Big Door Prize
"Stunning, moving, and remarkable. Pelican Girls is more than a novel, it's an act of advocacy for human rights and for historical acknowledgment. Julia Malye has found a rich and compelling voice, unique to those who are experts in navigating between languages and cultures." - Nguy n Phan Qu Mai, internationally bestselling author of The Mountains Sing and Dust Child

"This richly imagined historical saga tells the story of three women, discarded by French society, who have little choice but to make new lives in a country thousands of miles away, married to men they barely know. As their lives intertwine again and again, Malye paints a vivid portrait of displacement and resilience, even as she lays bare the compromises her heroines must make and the ways they become complicit in the inequities of empire." - Anna North, Anna North, New York Times bestselling author of Outlawed
"Pelican Girls is a feat of sublime imagination, every page a wonder. Malye has written an unforgettably rich and sensual novel-a triumph." - Elizabeth McKenzie, author of The Portable Veblen and The Dog of the North
"This book fascinates me. It's moving in every way: a celebration of complicity and love among women and a summary of their difficult lives. It has everything in it: a great story, landscapes, atmosphere, depth and a finely wrought prose. It makes you feel that you are reading one of those literary classics that make you believe in contemporary fiction again--told with spark and excitement, and with the freshness only a young writer can give. " - Pilar Quintana, two-time finalist of the National Book Award, author of The Bitch and Abyss
"Julia Malye's Pelican Girls is a richly layered, multi-character narrative of a long-overlooked period in history. More than that, however, it's an exploration of the varied-and often cruel-ways in which we experience both abandonment and agency. Haunting, heartbreaking, and harrowing, Malye's story is one of survival and perseverance; it is a look into the lives of women who've had everything taken from them but still manage to go on. " - Virginia Reeves, author of Work Like Any Other and The Behavior of Love
