Recenzii

Amarvellousnovel about forbidden passions and the terrible consequences of thwarted love.Dunmore is one of the finest English writers

A hugely involving story which oftenstops you in your trackswith thebeauty of its writing

Anelectrifying and original talent, a writer whose style is characterized by alyrical, dreamy intensity

Tense, dark and intensely gripping. . . written soseductivelythatpassages sing out from the page
Her prose is poetic in its emotional range and intensity
Unsettling loveandstifled horrorcreate and then destroy theclaustrophobic world of this lush, literary Gothic set in turn-of-the-century England. In true Gothic fashion, terror, violence and eroticism collect beneath every dark surface. . . .A finely crafted, if disturbing, literary page-turner
It bears thedistinctive lyrical beautyof its predecessors . . . Helen Dunmore is an unusually fine writer. There isa strong and sensuous magictoA Spell of Winter
One of our finest writers
Immensely sad, quite beautiful, and deserves to be read by all lovers of good novel
