fin'

views with respect bordering on awe'

riveting tale of love, mystery and rampant danger. I loved
it’

gift for characterisation of which most thriller writers can only
dream'
*Mail on Sunday*
'The story drips with atmosphere and authenticity – a literary
triumph'
*David Young, bestselling author of 'Stasi Child'*
'Smith was among the first of a new generation of writers who made
thrillers literary'

mind'
*The New Yorker*
'Brilliantly worked, marvellously written . . . an imaginative
triumph'
*Sunday Times*

of Mussolini's Italy but also a quirky romance - the two held
together by a warm, dry humour that keeps the pages turning. I
loved it'
