Praise for The Woman Who Fed the Dogs
‘Kristien Hemmerechts didn’t write an apology for an inhuman woman, but simply a very good novel’
De Volkskrant
‘As is the case with the best written of books, it is not what is said, but what is not said that makes the writing so accomplished’
For Books’ Sake
‘The narrative is impossible for the reader to escape, unknowingly and at most points unwillingly, you are dragged into her world’
Exeposé
‘The naturalness of this reconstruction of a life is mind-blowing’
PANTHEON BOEKHANDEL
‘With unnerving conviction, this novel inhabits the mind, heart and voice of Belgium’s ‘most hated woman’, the ex-wife of murderer Marc Dutroux – the authenticity makes for a compelling narrative’
BLAKE MORRISON
‘The Woman Who Fed the Dogs is a deconstruction of identity. Without sympathising or showing understanding for Martin (Odette), Hemmerechts shows us the inner workings of the mind of a woman with a horrific past and an uncertain future’
Flanders Today
‘Hemmerechts expertly shows us that nothing is simple or black and white: she writes superbly’
We Love This Book
‘As clear as crystal and very impressive’
KNACK
‘A daring, but successful endeavor to paint a probing psychological portrait of a complex personality; astonishing and sometimes provocative in all its directness’
Flanders Literature
‘Raises interesting questions about fear, dependence, guilt, penance and the problem of forgiveness’
Tzum
‘Hemmerechts expertly portrays the connections between sex and power and violence, and how those interact with racism. She also writes superbly about how our childhood forms us as adults’
We Love This Book
‘With this book Hemmerechts has created a very strong thinking exercise with an ingeniously developed main character. All this in a smooth style, which makes the book read like a train’
Hebban
‘Thematically, this story fits seamlessly inside an oeuvre in which parents and children, and in particular women trying to determine their position in relation to others (wherein power and sexuality are recurring motifs), occupy a central place’
Hanta
‘As a psychological novel, the book convinces’
De Leesclub van Alles
‘It grabs you by the throat and doesn’t let you go’
Nine Sisters
‘This penetrating portrait will haunt you long after reading, and throws up more questions than answers, as all good literature should’
