Su questo libro

Recensione:

“An awfully enjoyable romp. Taylor writes clearly and transparently, leaving nothing to abstraction. The book moves along at such an admirable clip that it’s hard to believe it won’t carry on without you if you dare put it down.”
—Toronto Star

“A literate thriller....Today, the Dreyfus Affair continues to serve as a bracing reminder ...that we dare not have blind faith in the willingness of our leaders to defend our most cherished rights and freedoms. Taylor’s engaging novel, in creating a detailed historical world, reminds us of that ever-present danger.”
—Globe and Mail

“Taylor’s twisting plot is rich in romance and disturbing in its implications about the fragility of human rights.”
—Elle
