Recenzii
Elegantly constructed, with a plangent dying fall of a twist in the final scene.
Without question one of the best debuts I've read in recent years.
Irresistibly romantic ...a highly-charged story of love, longing, betrayal and loss ... written with such conviction that you can't help but be swept along by its intensity.
...Through a series of subtle plot devices and a haunting contemplation of the different kinds of love that we meet in our lifetime, the story builds to a page-turning and tear-jerking climax.
A hugely affecting novel
Melancholic, mysterious and heartbreakingly gorgeous.
A sincere attempt to depict the reverberations of war - chronicling fractured relationships and the inability to love in the right way... Anna is a likeable and memorable heroine.
