Recenzii
A highly original work of dark gothic brilliance. In a house with monstrous secrets, Marta is a heroine like no other. She will steal your heart, believe me. A story so inventive and exciting, I simply couldn't wait for the next page
Dark, heady and bold, Fyneshade is a seductive treat, with a protagonist who is both wicked and irresistible. I was entranced from the first page to the last
What a brilliant, chilling, thrilling gothic masterpiece... I do love a clever, evil heroine. Magnificent
Jane Eyre but with an icy heart... a dark, inventive story
Marta is Jane Eyre's black-hearted alter ego... ingenious
Victorian menace with echoes of both Jane Eyre and The Secret Garden
A thrillingly dark page-turner with deeply satisfying nods to a number of gothic classics
A gloriously foreboding Gothic tale, with a delicious anti-heroine and a fiendish final twist in the tale
A tour de force! I thoroughly enjoyed this darkest of dark tales with its canny and complicated heroine, and a final twist that made me gasp out loud. Gloriously wicked
With a satisfyingly dark anti-hero at its core Fyneshade makes for compelling storytelling and proves Kate Griffin's a new standout voice in gothic fiction
A darkly delicious joy of a historical gothic novel. Mature and accomplished storytelling that's utterly compelling. I loved it
Playful and compelling, and a wonderful love letter to Gothic
Wonderful and well-deserved. I loved Fyneshade's clever reworking of Jane Eyre's gothic tropes, it's wicked anti-heroine and immaculate plotting. A perfectly shivery read for a hot summer day... Stupendously good
I absolutely adored this unforgettable and original take on the governess gothic. Marta is the anti-heroine you can't help rooting for: I was under her spell from the very first page. A deliciously dark and decadent novel, sure to bewitch readers everywhere
What a devious and delightful tale. In Marta, Kate Griffin gives us one the most inventive and compelling characters of recent years. A gloriously gothic and often darkly funny story. I devoured it whole
An atmospheric and enthralling read, perfect escapism and historical fiction at its best
Fyneshade affords the surest pleasure - not least for its clever refraction and reinvention of familiar material. It's a winner
A dark and sophisticated gothic novel of the governess tale with a twist. Marta is the anti-heroine you won't help rooting for
Absolutely pitch black brilliance. Dark, creepy and utterly compelling with characters who jump right off the page - this is gothic suspense at its very best
A gothic triumph. With so many hidden secrets, you won't know who to trust
An elegant iron fist of a novel cast in tattered finery and soaked in velvet darkness. Its darkness cloaked me to the end. Magnificent
I loved the gothic horror of Fyneshade. Dark flashes of Fingersmith, Jane Eyre and The Turn of the Screw, with witchy governess Marta taking on the secrets that scratch around the walls. Deliciously dark and twisty
What a book - gothic, gorgeous and pure evil... absolutely loved it
Stunning. With a refreshingly complex protagonist and a story as richly threaded as the tapestries within the beautiful rooms of Fyneshade itself, the novel left me guessing its secrets till the very end
A piercing, acerbic, deliciously dark take on the governess tale; dripping with atmosphere, cobwebbed with twists, and with an anti-heroine you'll never forget
A delightfully dark gothic tale, beautifully written, with a beguiling narrator. The seemingly innocent Marta turns out to be more than a match for the other occupants of a house full of secrets. An excellent read!
Beautifully written, packed with dark magic, wicked secrets, and compulsively watchable characters. An entrancing gem of a book
A bleak atmosphere and sense of foreboding whispers through the walls at Fyneshade. This historical suspense draws you in through its pages towards a looming fate. Full of gothic intensity, dread and a twist of seductive humour
The most delicious nastiness one could hope for. Marta is Jane Eyre with the darkest of hearts, and Fyneshade is every bit as ghoulish as she is. Devour alone by candlelight!
Kate Griffin's bewitching new novel conjures the literary ghosts of Henry James and Charlotte Brontë to give us an evocative new take on the old governess tale. But beware, dear reader, for any gentleness is deceptive here ... Griffin lays bare what's normally subdued in the Gothic, as she draws us into a world of shadows and closed spaces where desire literally combusts on the page. A thrilling read
