Kept de D.J. TAYLOR

Kept

Autor D.J. TAYLOR
en Limba Engleză Paperback – feb 2007
Egg-stealing in the Scottish highlands, fraud and felony on the streets of London, and strange goings-on in the fens. Captivating and ingenious, full of suspense and teeming with life, KEPT is a Victorian mystery about the extreme and curious things men do to get what they want. Ranging from the loch sides of Scotland to the slums of Clerkenwell, and from the gentlemen's clubs of St James's to the Yukon wilds, KEPT is a gorgeously intricate novel about the urge to possess - at once a gripping investigation of some of the secret chambers of the human heart and a dazzling re-invention of Victorian life and passions.

Recenzii

"A gripping tale, crafted with passion, and intelligence, and an honourable addendum to the golden age of the English novel" -- Simon Baker New Statesman "A genuinely fascinating reading experience... A pageturner of the highest order. It is a genuine mystery - not a simple whodunnit but a constant revelation of a complex and tight-knit plot" -- Philippa Gregory The Times "He has a faultless ear for the varied nuances of mid-Victorian English... [and] takes a wicked pleasure in creating a dense underlay of references, a blend of historical fact and other authors' fiction which lies beneath his narrative and occasionally erupts into it... Clever and hugely readable" -- Andrew Taylor Independent "Taylor's skill ensures the book never loses its grip... Hugely enjoyable...Conan Doyle, Dickens and Wilkie Collins knew how to do it, and Taylor has learned his lesson well... A great read. It intrigues, diverts and delights. It is clever and intricate and huge fun" -- Susan Hill Guardian "Taylor is marking out a territory as distinct and disturbing as Greenland, with the same imperative towards moral inquisition and a flatlands melancholy that is all his own" -- Hilary Mantel Sunday Times
