Recensione:

“If Henry James were around, the only writer he’d be reading with complete approval would be Anita Brookner.”
—The New York Times Book Review

“Anita Brookner works a spell on the reader; being under it is both an education and a delight.”
—The Washington Post Book World

“Brookner is a writer of great skill and precision. Passages of brilliant writing abound, hard-won insights
that startle us with Brookner’s clarity and succinct intelligence.”
—Los Angeles Times Book Review

“Few contemporary novelists can match Ms. Brookner’s consistently high level of achievement: the penetration of her vision, the sense of conviction in what she is doing, and the unforced elegance of her writing.”
—The Wall Street Journal
