Su questo libro

Recensione:

Every bit as good, if not better, than her highly acclaimed previous novels. An intriguing plot, sympathetic characterisation and beautifully observed, sophisticated writing all make for a hugely satisfying read (Booksellers' Choice)

This is the third of her seductive novels and quite the best to date ... haunting, passionate ... full of sensual language [and] vivid snapshot imagery ... this superb story ... has an extraordinary female intensity and authentic emotional punch (Barbara Trapido, The Independent)

O'Farrell pulls a passionate and absorbing love story out of the bag (THE MIRROR)

Maggie O'Farrell has written three novels, each of them a critical and commercial success ... her confidence in her characters' plausibility is endearing ... She tends to their emotional lives with the inexhaustible tenderness of a doting mother (FINANCIAL TIMES)

hyper-sensitive examination of family relationships ... ambitious and trickily arranged narrative ... The result is a skilful, sensitive romantic novel (SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

Her gift for story-telling is wrapped in gold paper and tied with 15 velvet bows. Give her any synopsis you like and she would probably make it work ... Maggie O'Farrell has a magical talent for writing sensuous love scenes which are somehow touchingly old-fashioned (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)

Fans of the earlier books can expect the same telling observations, evocative descriptions and a narrative that moves seamlessly between past and present (SCOTSMAN ON SUNDAY)

Descrizione del libro:
