Recenzii

"Outstanding ... Margo Lanagan is a writer whose violently sexy reworkings of Grimm have previously been more for teenagers, but her new book stays within the allusive fairy tale tropes and will enthrall readers of 11+. Nothing is predictable in this astonishing novel, which expands on classic tales about selkie brides with unsettling imaginative thoroughness" -- Amanda Craig The Times 20120204 "Lanagan's prose is always a joy ... she shows writing of the highest order: subtle, powerful, poetic" -- Marcus Sedgwick Guardian 20120211 "Margo Lanagan's writing is dangerously beautiful; it knows how to dance, and it knows how to fight" -- Mal Peet "Powerful, beautiful, dangerous, unsettling, truthful, earthy, challenging, poetic, wonderful, absorbing. I can't recommend it highly enough. Margo Lanagan has a unique, uncompromising and lyrical voice and she brings it to the folk myth of selkies in a soaring journey of passion and pain ... Read this selkie novel. It's heartstoppingly gorgeous. And you won't find anyone else with a voice like Margo's. Five stars" The Bookbag 20120116 "Atmospheric, moving and rich in detail."
