Recenzii
Based on a true crime, this is a brilliantly crafted story of two women, Zina the accused and Eva her translator. So evocative of 1950s London and an absolute page-turner.
Immersive, gripping, authentic: the kind of historical fiction that has the reader looking up from the page, astonished to find themselves in the 21st Century. Zina will stay with me for a long, long time.
Impressive . . . [Kyriacou's] evocation of postwar London and the benighted attitudes of its citizens is worthy of Sarah Waters
The grime and glamour of 1950s London comes to life in this atmospheric and gripping novel . . . Speaks so movingly about the experience of being an immigrant
A complex and fascinating portrait of the immigrant experience in postwar Britain, and a tragic and compelling tale
A poignant study of the relationship between the two women
Tense. Moving. Morally complex. Zina Pavlou is part monster, part victim and wholly unforgettable.
A hugely powerful book. Beautifully written characters and a gripping story that's at times agonisingly tense, at others deeply moving. You'll be thinking about this book for weeks after you finish reading. Easily one of the best books you'll read this year.
A masterclass on writing character - Zina and Eva will stay with me a long, long time . . . I found the book impossible to put down.
'You know those books where you read a bit and then you have to stop to do life stuff but the characters are still in your head and you can't wait to get back to it? This is one of those and it's brilliant.'
An incredibly powerful story of two women and the tragedy that destroys them both. Chilling, gripping and a story that stayed with me long after I'd finished the book.
A gripping true-crime drama . . . Kyriacou's complex, perceptive and moving narrative brings these devastating events vividly to life.
Eleni Kyriacou is a writer of immense talent and she handles this complex, passionate subject matter with stunning results. A captivating and important story written by an author at the top of her game.
Storytelling of the highest order, and a fascinating re-imagining of a real-life case from the 1950s. A really powerful novel.
A terrific re-imagining of a historical true crime case, Eleni Kyriacou has a real knack of bringing the fifties back to life, mixing glamour and grime in perfect proportion to produce a gripping thriller.
Brilliant! As heartbreaking as it is compelling, exploring shocking times in our not-too-distant past. I'll be thinking about it for a long time. And what a page-turner!
A story masterfully told with complex characters.
Prepare to become obsessed with Zina Pavlou! I was hooked by this story from the start. Gorgeously dark, gorgeously addictive, a rich and very moving mystery written with elegance and aplomb.
Eleni Kyriacou has a gift for capturing time and place perfectly while captivating the reader with her convincing and memorable characters. An excellent and emotional page turner.
Kyriacou writes so movingly of the diaspora Cypriot experience, without shying away from the dark, the seedy, the criminal . . . It is an extraordinary achievement to humanise a woman accused of not one but two brutal murders of family members; that Kyriacou does so while honouring the fictional (and real-life) victims is remarkable. This is a haunting and intensely compassionate book with complex, compelling characters who will stay with me for a very long time.
Stunning. Eleni Kyriacou brilliantly evokes the true case of the second from last woman to be hung in a fictionalised account that will have the reader equally gripped and outraged.
Historical Fiction full of suspense and woven with brio!
Dark, gripping, utterly brilliant. Everyone needs to know this story.
A gripping historical crime thriller that immerses you in smoky 1950s London. I stayed up to 2am to finish it because I had to know the conclusion.
Chilling and compelling, a darkly compulsive novel that brings to life 1950s London.
The Unspeakable Acts of Zina Pavlou is a gripping read . . . I enjoyed every minute of this book. A truly wonderful read.
An absorbing tale of race and class, discrimination and prejudice . . . It will be a long time before I can get Zina Pavlou out of my head.
A propulsive and fascinating story that hooked me from the very first page. Kyriacou's writing is confident and assured. I loved it.
A compelling, nuanced and incredibly moving story showing the double standards and judgments directed at women. Loved it!
Telling a tale of murder and betrayal
You'll be hooked
So evocative of the 1950s, highlighting the norms of casual racism and misogyny... beautifully written
Moving, tense and morally haunting, this 1950s true-crime thriller centred on two women from the Greek diaspora sees a court interpreter become emotionally enmeshed in a murder case
A superb piece of writing, delicate, subtle, never disrespectful to anyone involved, but also never less tough than it needs to be
