Recenzii
As tricky as a master composer, Trapido has taken us on a spiritual journey right through the dark forest of lost friendships and broken hearts, out into the sunshine of renewal
Trapido is standing in for Miss Spark, who is on sabbatical in Italy
Barbara Trapido applies her sharp sense of social nuances and her dry wit to advance the proposition that love conquers all. [With] a light, sure touch ... she manages to make the improbable surprisingly possible
Temples of Delight is so readable, so full of incidental pleasures and curiosities, that one could easily overlook its terrifying honesty . In her readability, her richness, her plain, clear style, Trapido is quite like what Iris Murdoch is supposed to be
Her characters are larger than life ... Temples of Delight shows how grief is implicit in joy. It makes you laugh and it moves you
Like Trapido's celebrated first novel, Brother of the More Famous Jack, it is quirky, wise, and warm, full of charm and entirely original. More than a play on the Mozart opera, Temples of Delight is a sly comment on contrivance and serendipity, loss and gain. Wry and generous, it has a delightfully eccentric vision and ... is blessed with a delicious sense of the absurd
It is continually entertaining, however, mainly because Trapido's characters are lively and interesting, and have the rare ability to surprise the reader occasionally
A witty, painful, and utterly pleasurable book - strong and stylish and tender
Steel yourself for a baroque romance of untimely deaths, orphan babes, stolen novels, canny nuns and dark, forceful lovers
One of the funniest books I've read in a long time
A work written with authority and ease ... Temples of Delight celebrates imagination in fiction and in life
As lush and original as it is playful and ironic, Temples of Delight is a grown-up version of an adolescent fantasy ... It is quirky, wise and warm, full of charm and entirely original
Humorously, the novel pits the valuable bonds among women against the antagonism of the opposite sex
Very funny . fizzes along at a cracking pace
A strange and magical novel, a complex and ambitious work
