Recenzii

Sumptuous ... part Moulin Rouge, part Alfred Hitchcock
There's a touch of Angela Carter about Beatrice Hitchman's beguiling debut - a sly, erotic thriller concerned with doubleness and duplicity
Movie junkies will love this surprising and original novel ... the story winds itself in knots, then unravels deftly, providing a satisfactory judgment day for the sexy yet heartless central characters in a wholly unexpected ending
An impressive and enjoyable debut: nimble, deft and wrapped luxuriously in the velveteen glamour of the movies.
Like the silver screen world Hitchman portrays, her writing shimmers, drawing you in with glamour and trickery. A fascinating, beguiling and wily debut
Compelling ... Hitchman's confident debut is a story about relationships and the risks we take to get what we want. Universal themes, beautifully explored.
Gorgeously written ... with a fantastic twist at the very end ... fascinating.
Sumptuously set, elegantly written, evocative and quietly subversive
Fans of silent films and historical fiction will delight in this chocolate box of a novel which mixes love, lust and scandal with the stardust of 1900s Paris.
An accomplished and assured debut ... a gently compelling tale
The atmosphere is rich with sumptuous details ... striking ... This clever debut indicates a bright future for its author.
An astonishingly assured debut novel ... an expertly crafted story.
