Recenzii

'This utterly gripping thriller should establish her as one of the great unmissables of this genre - intelligent, classy and with a wonderfully Gothic imagination' -- The Times on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Sophie Hannah is very very good at setting things up and moving on - a chunky book you'll get through in no time' -- Evening Standard 'A masterclass in plotting that adds twist after twist in a hectic finale' -- Sunday Times on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Beautifully written and precision-engineered to unsettle' -- Guardian on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'The interest of any crime or thriller fan will be piqued by Hannah's early chapters, but even the most Machiavellian-minded will be confounded by the serpentine twists of her audacious plotting.' -- Independent on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Hannah brings us spectacularly sinister characters and throws them into some wincingly creepy dilemmas' -- Independent on Sunday, Books of the Year 'This book is long but never tedious, and, as with the finest examples of the genre, Hannah refuses to allow the reader any hope of predicting how it will all end until she decides to put the final piece of the jigsaw in place' -- Daily Express on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'It's a difficult tightrope to walk but Hannah does it triumphantly, maintaining the tension until the very end' -- Val McDermid, The Times 'Beautifully written and absorbingly chilling, this is a tale that steadily builds in tension, throwing up twists and turns that keep you guessing right up until the very end' -- SHE on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'An intricate and sinister suspense novel' -- Woman & Home on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Sophie Hannah is the new British queen of the psychological thriller' -- Heat 'Sophie Hannah has become the master, or mistress, of suspense. This one's even better than her others. Each moment is so purely enjoyable. Her genius is that she creates these very real characters - absolutely incredible. She's at the very peak of crime fiction at the moment.' -- Boyd Hilton, Simon Mayo, BBC Radio 5 Live 'Sophie Hannah has done this before and is doing it again brilliantly. You have to keep turning the pages. As twisted as fairy lights in the loft after Christmas. Very clever, very cunning.' -- Joel Morris, Simon Mayo, BBC Radio 5 Live 'A truly gripping thriller' -- Psychologies on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'A complex, unnerving study of relationships ... Her exemplary skills put Hannah right up there with Ruth Rendell.' -- Kirkus Reviews on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'This is a monster book in every sense. It is both a chunky psychological thriller and a testamony to the legacy of depravity ... The trademark neuroses that afflict many of Sophie Hannah's characters lead to multiple twists in the plot, while her brilliantly acerbic dialogue lightens this clever but complicated tale' -- Charlotte Norman, Waterstone's Books Quarterly on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'The pages keep turning ... The firm grip of suspense will hold you fast until the thrilling ending.' -- Sunday Telegraph, Australia A terrific page-turner, one of those really creepy suspense novels with so many twists that it is impossible to guess the ending. -- Bookseller on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'A real chiller; the clever plot will keep you hooked and guessing to the end' -- Choice on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Genuinely unsettling ... Fabulous stuff ' -- shotsmag.co.uk on THE OTHER HALF LIVES 'Hannah, like Rendell and Fremlin before her, takes ordinary domestic setting and turns them into something extraordinary ... THE OTHER HALF LIVES proves that she is an established force to be reckoned with ... a marvellous piece of literary conjuring' -- Crime Squad magazine 'Sophie Hannah brings many gifts to crime fiction. She is a poet whose use of language is precise, and her images are evocative. As a novelist, her overriding interests lie in people on the edge and in the relationships that have driven them there.' -- Times Literary Supplement 'Sophie Hannah is very, very good at setting things up and moving on - a chunky book you'll get through in no time' -- Evening Standard on THE OTHER HALF LIVES
