Recensione:

“Exhilarating . . . Bachmann writes with a skill that belies his youth . . . and he has a genius for envisioning fairy magic and architecture. . . . Readers will want to start with The Peculiar, and immediately dive into this fine tale.”- (Publishers Weekly (starred review))

“Enthralling . . . The breathtaking beauty of [Bachmann’s] prose is coupled with a plot that also leaves his audience breathless.” (School Library Journal)

“[A] breathless read, one that will have readers hoping for a peaceful outcome as fervently as its characters do.” (Kirkus Reviews)

L'autore:

Stefan Bachmann is the author of the internationally bestselling novel The Peculiar and its acclaimed sequel, The Whatnot. He was born in Colorado, spent most of his childhood in Switzerland, and is now studying modern music at the Zürich University of the Arts. When he’s not writing, he can be found traveling to someplace chilly, or holed up beneath his college in the dimly lit labyrinth of practice rooms, which may have inspired the subterranean scenes in A Drop of Night. That . . . and the Paris catacombs, a weird dream about a golden corridor, and a general interest in history.
