Imagine a world in which every bad thought you had was made visible. Where anger, hatred and envy appeared as a thick, infectious smoke pouring from your body, leaving soot on your skin. A society controlled by an elite who have learned to master their darkest desires.

Thomas and Charlie are friends at a boarding school near Oxford, where the children of the rich and powerful are trained to be future leaders. Charlie is naturally good, but Thomas's father was accused of a terrible crime, and Thomas fears that the same evil lies coiled inside him. Then, on a trip to London - a forbidden city shrouded in darkness - they learn all is not as it appears. So begins a quest to understand the truth about this world of smoke, soot and ash - and perhaps to change it.

'Like an adult version of the Harry Potter books with a touch of Dickensian dystopia ...a sheer delight' Maxim Jakubowski, Lovereading

Recensione:

For once both comparisons (with Harry Potter and Philip Pullman's Northern Lights) are apt . . . this is a novel that stays in the imagination long after it is read (THE GUARDIAN)

Mesmerising and imaginative . . . Smoke is at once profound, moving and timely: a novel that tackles the most fundamental question of good versus evil (Hannah Beckerman THE OBSERVER)

Astonishing . . . it's filling in that gaping hole left by both Harry Potter and Philip Pullman's Northern Lights. Yes, really (Stylist)

Its subtle touches mean the story takes on a world of its own . . . you'll wonder why no one has seen smoke this way before (EMERALD STREET)

It's detailed, multi-layered and feels authentic - and might just win over historical fiction fans too (THE POOL)

a great work of imagination (Cathy Rentzenbrink STYLIST.CO.UK)

Potter-esque comparisons will be made (with some Dickensian England thrown in) of the richness and intricacy of Vyleta's world (STYLIST)

Original and enthralling (GOOD HOUSEKEEPING)

Books to look out for in 2016 (NEW STATESMAN)

a vivid, imaginative and gripping fantasy thriller (SCIFI NOW)

Descrizione del libro:

'JK Rowling meets Charles Dickens' Metro. Imagine a world in which your sin is visible.... addictive and intoxicating, SMOKE is a Dickensian, thrilling, rich novel for fans of PHILIP PULLMAN, THE SECRET HISTORY and THE SHADOW OF THE WIND.

Descrizione libro Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. 'Astonishing . . . It's filling in that gaping hole left by both HARRY POTTER and Philip Pullman's NORTHERN LIGHTS. Yes, really' Stylist'The laws of Smoke are complex. Not every lie will trigger it. A fleeting thought of evil may pass unseen. Next thing you know its smell is in your nose. There is no more hateful smell in the world than the smell of Smoke.'SMOKE opens in a private boarding school near Oxford, but history has not followed the path known to us. In this other past, sin appears as smoke on the body and soot on the clothes. Children are born carrying the seeds of evil within them. The ruling elite have learned to control their desires and contain their sin. They are spotless. It is within the closeted world of this school that the sons of the wealthy and well-connected are trained as future leaders. Among their number are two boys, Thomas and Charlie. On a trip to London, a forbidden city shrouded in smoke and darkness, the boys will witness an event that will make them question everything they have been told about the past. For there is more to the world of smoke, soot and ash than meets the eye and there are those who will stop at nothing to protect it . . . 'JK Rowling meets Charles Dickens' Metro. Imagine a world in which your sin is visible. addictive and intoxicating, SMOKE is a Dickensian, thrilling, rich novel for fans of PHILIP PULLMAN, THE SECRET HISTORY and THE SHADOW OF THE WIND.
