Safe to say, this one goes on my “highly-recommended” list! I’m delighted to welcome Christine Mangan to CBTB to celebrate today’s release of TANGERINE - and to discuss some of my most pressing questions about her exceptional debut. You can find my full review of TANGERINE here.
I highly recommend TANGERINE for fans of Patricia Highsmith, Gillian Flynn, and Alfred Hitchcock-and yes, these are lofty comparisons to make, but this book delivers. The fact that this is Mangan’s first book is just another impressive facet of a story that more than stands on its own two feet, from pacing to character development to scene-setting and more. TANGERINE is a story humming with interpersonal tension and simmering with the heat of its locale this is truly an outstanding first novel - in fact, I’d call it outstanding even if the author had already had a seasoned career. In this stunning examination of the intricacies of female friendship, Mangan sets a tense, almost claustrophobic encounter against the backdrop of 1950’s Morocco. Christine Mangan is making her entrance into the literary world in a big way-not only has TANGERINE already received incredible reviews (find my rave here!), it’s also already been optioned for film by George Clooney’s Smokehouse Pictures. I’m absolutely thrilled to welcome to CBTB today the author of one of the most exceptional debuts I’ve read in ages - and maybe ever.
