Industry Reviews
'Wonderful ... deceptively simple prose carrying a great power of sorrow and, interestingly, hope.'--Ian McEwan 'Light-footed and subtle.'--Stefan Tobler, The Independent

'Wonderful ... deceptively simple prose carrying a great power of sorrow and, interestingly, hope.'--Ian McEwan

'The reader is inevitably drawn into Tatiana's gravitational field, much like Lewis Carroll's Alice. A stunning and creative narrator.'--Bravo! (Brazil)

'Levy's writing is a joy ... Her prose is rich, filled with a sense of the vividness and generosity of an author's available inspirations: the clamour of the senses, the restless truths of the body, the turns and consolations and perils of thought, the wonders of both beauty and ugliness and the meaning and architecture of words themselves.'-- A. L. Kennedy, Granta (UK)

'This is a novel about reconciliation and finding one's own place in the world, but the precise shades of its meaning are elusive, glimpsed hazily through deceptively simple prose which manages to be both unflinching and enigmatic all at once.'--The Herald

'A wonderful autobiographical saga.'--Not-cias (Spain)

'With Tatiana Salem Levy, everything comes directly from the heart: pain, love, desire, death. A breathtaking novel.'--La Libert' (France)

'Teasing ... Levy has crafted a puzzling, disturbing story that at times leaves the reader feeling blindfolded in a maze.'--Suzi Feay, Financial Times

'[A] beautiful book, acute and deeply felt, every word earned and revealing.' Pick of the Week--Cameron Woodhead, The Age

'With intimate prose, combining delicacy and vigor, she is an outstanding voice in new Brazilian literature. If you haven't read her yet, you're missing out!'--O Globo (Brazil) '[A] beautiful book, acute and deeply felt, every word earned and revealing.' Pick of the Week
