Su questo libro

Recensione:

Touch is little short of a masterpiece . . . both a thought-provoking literary treatise on what makes us human, and a genre-thriller that rattles on at a breakneck pace. Excellent. (INDEPENDENT)

Poignant and intensely gripping (GUARDIAN)

North's talent shines out (SUNDAY TIMES)

The quality of the writing and the dazzlingly imaginative heart of this exciting book will seduce even scifi sceptics, and keep readers absolutely hooked to the dramatic conclusion (SUNDAY MIRROR)

One of the cleverest, most compelling books I've read in a long time. The intoxicating voice, ingenious premise and intricate plot will have readers clamouring for a copy. Touch has bestseller written all over it and Claire North is one hell of a writer (C. L. Taylor, author of THE ACCIDENT)

A work of sparkling originality that works both as mesmerising thriller and exploration of what it means, at the most profound level, to be human (Alex Marwood, author of THE WICKED GIRLS)

I was totally and utterly gripped, it's just extraordinary. Absolutely mesmerising (Clare Mackintosh, author, feature writer and columnist)

As intriguing and breathless as it is brilliantly original, constantly defying expectations and a step (or two) ahead of the reader. Featuring a troubled hero who can move from body to body just by grazing someone's fingertip and who becomes the subject of a sinister assassination attempt . . . Agile, unpredictable, this one will keep you awake at night in the search for answers

(LOVE READING)

A brilliantly balanced knife's edge of a book - fast-paced and thrilling, it's somehow also languorous, thoughtful, intelligently intimate . . . I am left staggered into an awed slow-clap at everything North has accomplished here. Touch is touching, horrifying, magnificent; step into it, and it will step into you. (NPR)

Touch is fast, smart, cinematic and with a cracking central idea. This is absolutely destined to be one of the biggest thrillers of 2015 . . . A very, very impressive second outing (Rick O'Shea, radio presenter)
