Recenzii

"I haven't a enjoyed a novel so much since Benioff's City of Thieves." —John Valliant, author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce

“In this delicious jumble of a novel, Weir has created an epic hero … Drenched in filthy Thames waters and coiffed in muttonchops, Weir’s outlandish tale is a top-shelf page-turner”—Publisher's Weekly

"The battle between the great Hammer of Heaven and the evil stalking him climaxes in a fight that will leave readers breathless. This robust historical novel by an award-winning Canadian screenwriter will captivate fans of Sarah Waters and Charles Dickens.—Library Journal

"a triumph—a frightening, funny, moving, page-turning romp. Deserves to be shelved where they keep Charles Dickens and Robertson Davies and Sarah Waters. Ian Weir is a storyteller of extraordinary ability." —Steven Galloway, author, The Cellist of Sarajevo

“[Weir] takes us right to the centre of London in 1851 with as brilliantly constructed a band of reprobates as Dickens ever saw. Marvellous from the first paragraph.” –Globe and Mail

“ Weir’s unique retelling of the Gospels, set in mid-19th-century London, is Charles Dickens meets Tom Jones… A knockout debut.” —National Post

“Weir’s plot steps smartly, and the language crackles with the immediacy of shifting first-person voices.” –Quill &Quire
