A beautiful haunting novel… looking at a familiar London through a frosty, snowy lens. Wonderful
Caryl Phillips
A wonderful novel, entirely original, and entirely absorbing… The atmosphere she creates is exceptional
Carmen Callil
Mournful and evocative… It makes for compelling reading.
Book Oxygen, Elsbeth Lindner
It often takes an emigre to describe a country most clearly, and Goldsworthy, who was born in Belgrade but has lived in London for 30 years, is proving a most accomplished poet of her adopted city ... A delight
Claire Allfree, Daily Mail
Goldsworthy is an elegant writer, skilful at building atmosphere. Her fiction-within-fiction device is clever and intriguing ... the novel could hardly seem more of the moment
Rose Wild, The Times
Evocative and affecting
Rabeea Saleem, BookRiot
In this subtle, intelligent novel, Albertine's narration of events in 1947, as her own story begins to carry reminders of Tolstoy's, proves poignant and effective
Nick Rennison, The Sunday Times
Goldsworthy enjoys playing with the classics, and she's good at it
Ysenda Maxtone Graham, The Oldie
In all three of her books, Goldsworthy has displayed a gift for creating atmosphere ... One of Goldsworthy’s strengths is the sensitivity with which she portrays the many marriages in the book ... Much of the pleasure of reading this remarkable novel comes from its passionate dedication to the power of stories.
Lara Feigel, The Guardian
