Val McDermid
»Some books change lives. This is one of them. This is a book that is hard to set aside; it demands to be read late into the night with eyes burning and heart racing.«
Graham Greene
»Highsmith created a world of her own, claustrophobic and irrational, which we enter each time with a sense of personal danger.«
Mail on Sunday, London
»Magnificent – gently exploratory, genuinely moving.«
Sunday Times, London
»Very recognizably Highsmith, full of tremor and of threat and of her peculiar genius for anxiety.«
Independent, London
»A document of persecuted love – perfect.«
Financial Times, London
»An original, honest novel, a remarkable imaginative achievement by any standard [...] as compelling as any of Highsmith’s thrillers. Memorable.«
