Recensione:
"Vividly observed and arrestingly well written--. An atmospheric, polished, pensive and suspenseful tale." -The New York Times
"Rich with the bittersweet fragrance of autumn and the magic of words." -Vancouver Sun

"A powerful novel, peopled by a vividly-drawn cast of characters." -London Free Press
