Notă biografică

Natasha Pulley

Recenzii

Pulley excels at portraying the emotionally charged interplay of her charming cast
I loved the vivid and intricate alternate universes of The Kingdoms, and the flawed and complicated people who inhabit them
The Kingdoms is an intricate and complex but ultimately very satisfying read, blending time slip and historical fiction with the pace of a thriller and the sweetness of a love story. A unique book
What a novel. It broke my heart and stretched my brain and when I finished reading it I turned back to the first page and started again. Readers are going to love this perfectly realised vision of all the futures that are possible and all the ways that love can break and heal us
Lavish world-building and breakneck plotting . Clear a weekend and let yourself be absorbed
Natasha Pulley has created a world so richly immersive that I felt real shock returning to reality. At once fiercely original, joyous and horrifying, The Kingdoms is an awe-inspiring feat of imagination and passion which had me in tears by the end
All time-travel plots are fraught with paradox, but not all rise to Pulley's level of tricky cleverness, and few of those trickily clever books rise to her level of emotional intensity. Suspenseful, philosophical, and inventive, this sparkling novel explores the power of memory and love.
Inventive, immersive and entirely unputdownable
Wildly inventive, full of eeriness and magic, and fiendishly intricate plots
