Reseñas de la crítica

"This is an unputdownable book; there is no choice but to give in to this most unbelievably pleasurable of narrative rides . . . Faber's take on the nineteenth century English novel is a heady and intoxicating mixture of affection, respect and scabrous resistance"
"A sexy, bravura novel... wildly entertaining"
"Owes as much to John Fowles as it does to Charlotte Bronte. Which is to say that the book is both mind-bogglingly clever and page-turningly tempting. Don't miss it"
"When a book is this big, it had better be good - this one is. Dive in. Enjoy!" (Alice Sebold)
"An astonishing narrative sweep that encompasses Victorian society in all its colourful variety, it peels away the surface gentility and brings its world to vivid life. It's a feast for all five senses and in spite of its weight, it's impossible to put down" (VAL MCDERMID)
"Key to its success is the book's sly acknowledgment of its modernity without recourse to taking up the crude cudgels of irony . . . a sybaritic pleasure and a ripping yarn"
"Owes as much to John Fowles as it does to Charlotte Brontë. Which is to say that the book is both mind-bogglingly clever and page-turningly tempting. Don't miss it"
"An intensely imaginative time-travel experience"
"Takes the historical novel and, in the spirit of its subject matter, submits it to a good rogering in terms of graphically exposing the sexual details Dickens and Co. couldn't (or wouldn't) write about"
"It is a long read but a rewarding one. It is also, unsurprisingly, a sexy one. Indeed, at times it seems that the real central characters are the readers, good voyeurs that we are"
"The verdict: a scary tome, but crack the spine and you're into a gripping tale . . . Try if you like the thought of Dickens rising again to have a stab at erotic drama"
"At 828 pages, it's the size of a piglet and twice as heavy. Even so, I find myself lugging it to and fro on the train because my need to know what happens next outweighs the beast" (ROWAN PELLING)
"Down-and-dirty tale of an upwardly mobile Victorian prostitute . . . a scintillating tour de force"
"A cracking read, a Victorian page-turner with a twenty-first-century consciousness. Wilkie Collins would be proud" (LOUISE WELSH)
"The novel that Dickens might have write had he been allowed to speak freely . . . Faber's writing is so dizzyingly accomplished that he is able to convince you that, just sometimes, the old stories really are the best ones" (KATHRYN HUGHES)
"Wonderfully enjoyable . . . an intensely imaginative time travel experience." (Jane Jakeman)
"An achievement which may leave you wondering if this vast work is, if anything, a little too short." (Ross Gilfillan)
"There may have been many great novels set I Victorian times, among them A.S Byatt's Possession and John Fowles's The French Lieutenant's Woman. No disrespect intended, but none of them compares with Faber's morality tale. It really is that special." (Alan Taylor)
