Recenzii

A rich and thoroughly enjoyable novel: a love story, a war story, a story of divided loyalties...It is a work of considerable complexity with a powerful narrative drive . She has the ability, rarer in fiction today than it used to be, to make you care about her characters .This is an ambitious novel, and one of rare scope and understanding... It is the kind of novel which is likely to have you thinking it ought to be filmed, and then realising that a film would be unlikely to do justice to its amplitude and complexity. Butit will surely win prizes
A beautifully written and moving love story
The Sound of the Hoursis a beautiful and important book. Karen Campbell's gorgeous prose and epic, page-turning story swept me away to a beautiful place during its worst moment in history. Brava!
Generous-spirited, big-hearted
A story of tragedy told with such eloquence and elegance as to renew our faith in the resilience of the human spirit
