The Book of Life: All Souls

Praise for "The Book of Life"
"Weaving an extraordinarily rich story of magic and science, history and fiction, passion and power, secrets and truths, Harkness delivers an unforgettable and spellbinding finale that's not to be missed." --USA Today"
"Juicy and action-packed . . . Even at 561 pages, this is one hardcover no one will mind lugging to the beach."
--People"
"Pure escapist summer fun."
--Jodi Picoult, "Parade"
"The epic and erudite vampire-witch romance comes to a thoroughly satisfying conclusion in the action-packed All Souls trilogy ender."
"--Entertainment Weekly"
"A stirring, poignant saga."
"--Us Weekly"
"The charm in Deborah Harkness's wildly successful All Souls trilogy lies not merely in the spells that its creature characters cast as they lurk pretty much in plain sight of humans, but in the adroit way Harkness has insinuated her world of demons, witches, and vampires into ours. . . . From the novel's poignant opening, Harkness casts her own indelible spell of enchantment, heartbreak, and resilience. . . . She is terrific at bringing her magic world to life, maintaining a fast-paced, page-turning narrative."
"--The Boston Globe"
"This trilogy is a superlative example in a subgenre you could call realistic fantasy--think Harry Potter but for grown-ups or Susanna Clarke's "Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell." Witches, vampires, and daemons exist, along with time travel. But this world also is recognizably ours, not a wholly made-up setting like George R.R. Martin's Westeros. When done well, as it is here, this sort of fiction provides characters who are recognizably human in their desires and actions even if most of them are creatures with supernatural powers. Through them Harkness succeeds at the hardest part of writing fantasy: She makes this world so real that you believe it exists--or at the very least that you wish that it did."
