Critics Review
Remarkable…a big book that can comprehend the history of a nation, and so many lives, with love
Remarkable…a big book that can comprehend the history of a nation, and so many lives, with love * The Times *An exotic vision and a brilliant, impassioned epic * Vogue *Mesmerizing… A novel of force and charm * Washington Post *This is a novel like the novels no one seems to write anymore: thick with plot and bristling with characters who play out their lives over three generations of conflict and reconciliation. A novel to be read for its brilliant craftsmanship and its narrative of inescapable power * El Pais, Madrid *Announcing a truly great read: a novel thick and thrilling, full of fantasy, terror and wit, elaborately crafted yet serious and accurate in its historical and social observations * Die Welt, Berlin *
