The Black Crescent

Autor Jane Johnson
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 4 mar 2024

Bringing 1950s Morocco vividly to life, Jane Johnson's masterful new novel, The Black Crescent, is a gripping story of murder, magic and divided loyalties...Hamou Badi is born in a mountain village with the magical signs of the zouhry on his hands. In Morocco, the zouhry is a figure of legend, a child of both humans and djinns, capable of finding all manner of treasure: lost objects, hidden water.But instead, Hamou finds a body.This unsolved murder instils in Hamou a deep desire for order and justice: he trains as an officer of the law, working for the French in Casablanca. But the city is trapped in the turmoil of the nationalist uprising, and soon he will be forced to choose between all he knows and all he loves...Praise for Jane Johnson'An irresistible story-teller' Barbara Erskine'Page-turning stuff' The Times'Jane Johnson writes with such grace' Carol Drinkwater'Beautifully written' Mail on Sunday'Johnson writes the sort of books you want to tell everyone about' Katie Fforde

Recenzii

The Black Crescent transports you to another place and time and completely absorbs you in an arresting story of love and divided loyalties. Jane Johnson is a remarkable author... I loved it.
A compelling narrative
The Black Crescent is a marvellous novel, evocative, powerful and transportive, and Hamou is a wonderful protagonist, full of empathy and curiosity about people. I loved it and felt I had been steeped in Morocco.
The Black Crescent admitted me to a Casablanca I'd never imagined before... A hugely enjoyable and unusual historical novel
Gorgeous escapism
A stirring story of murder, magic and divided loyalties set in the Casablanca of the Fifties
A must-read
Johnson's depth of knowledge about Morocco is evident in every page. Atmosphere and accuracy exude from every sentence. The story is great too! I loved this book.
BOOK OF THE MONTH
PRAISE FOR JANE JOHNSON: 'A beautifully written and intriguing story that stayed with me long after I had turned the last page' Santa Montefiore. 'A wonderful blend of the past and the present day making an unputdownable, beautifully written novel' Katie Fforde. 'I wanted to live in this story. Jane Johnson writes with such grace and ease' Carol Drinkwater. 'The Sea Gate just blew me away. Utterly compelling and one of the few books for a long time that kept me reading deep into the night' Barbara Erskine. 'Johnson weaves a passionate, lyrical story of family secrets, wartime Britain and modern-day Cornwall. Think Arabian Nights meets du Maurier's Rebecca - I loved it'
Addictive reading: once I enter Jane's world, I am compelled to stay and pause as little as possible until I have reached the last word
