Recenzii
'Clearly well-researched and engrossing narrative ... beautifully written' -- Bookbag.co.uk 'Moving and insightful ... Young, courageous and frightened Krystyna in 1939 seems just as alive as confused, middle-aged Catherine in present day. Though the two never met, how their stories intertwine reveals the tragic yet beautiful truth of secret pasts' -- Press Association Praise for Hotel Juliet: 'Africa and aviation, red dust and wide, white skies ... this romance will soon dispel those January blues ... A thrillingly observant writer and crafter of highly sensual prose, Seaward employs the language and lore of the skies to considerable metaphorical effect ... its richly descriptive escapism is seductive' -- Daily Mail Hotel Juliet is a breathtaking work and a deeply moving elegy to the transitory nature of family life -- Scotland on Sunday A gripping evocation of love and passion amid the wild African landscape -- Sainsbury's Magazine This poignant epic is a real page-turner ... a mesmerising, well-crafted novel -- Birmingham Evening Mail A cinematic novel of breadth and beauty, love and aviation. Superbly written, the author's descriptions, particularly of masculinity, smells and voodoo are possessed of an almost ineffable resonance. -- The Argus 'Hotel Juliet very quietly binds a spell on the reader and I found it unusual and absorbing' -- Shropshire Star 'A poignant love story that spans two decades and two continents' -- E.Motion The double narrative of The Beautiful Truth switches back and forth from the present to wartime Poland, deftly highlighting the suffering of a nation that bore the brunt of atrocity from both sides -- Irish Times
