Recensione:
"From the first perfect sentence this novel is a gem. Its pared sentences and vocabulary really capture the time" (Evening Standard)
"The Moggacch miracle continues- here's another vivid, gripping yarn from the author of Tulip Fever... with a plot as twisty as a mountain road" (The Times)
"This wartime novel of ordinary Londoners is atmospheric and buzzing with electricity... a spirited portrait of lives thrown into turmoil by the Great War" (Daily Express)
"Like the recent novels by Ian McEwan and Sarah Waters, In the Dark successfully modernises the past. By focusing on life's murkier undercurrents... the characters come to seem appealingly familiar" (Sophia Harrison Sunday Times)
"A thoughtful diligent writer" (Sunday Telegraph)
