Su questo libro

Recensione:

“A convincing and involving read. A book to lose yourself in this summer.” (Daily Mail (London))

“An ambitious beginning, as much a ghost story as a romance.” (The Observer)

“Emma Darwin’s prose is golden and convincing. The book is an addictive, engaging foray into historical fiction.” (Express)

“This is that rare thing, a book that works on every conceivable level...An uncommonly good read...A real achievement.” (London Times)

“A novel rapturous with the joys of history...Anna’s story is told in a wonderfully convincing, brittle, adolescent voice.” (The Australian)

“The two stories that Darwin tells here add up to something hauntingly beautiful.” (Washington Post Book World)
