Critics Review
Blazing… Casts a spell right from the start. - Dwight Garner, New York Times
Seductive, steamy… Castellani’s quiet portrayal of Merlo has a deep, aching appeal and his prose has a beguiling lilt and colour. - Boston GlobeDazzling… [Castellani writes] with an evocative precision that historical fiction often merely aspires to. - Entertainment WeeklyA novel of rare insight and beauty, and Castellani is a writer of brilliant gifts. - Garth Greenwell, author of What Belongs to YouAbout The Author
