Reviews

The Guardian

Ian Sansom

"The end is as unexpected as it is inevitable. The book is translated from the German, but the whole thing is tout à fait."

"It’s the kind of book you can read while doing several other things at the same time, but sometimes that’s just what you need."

The Sunday Times

Rebecca Nicholson

"...a modern romance that feels both fresh and traditional, and its lack of easy answers makes it a curiosity worth exploring. "
