Recensione:
Sarah Perry stands out as an exhilaratingly bold storyteller (Mail on Sunday)
Scary and smart, but also a philosophical inquiry into the nature of love and will. (Washington Post)
Rich, elegant and atmospheric (Irish Times)
A novel that manages that vanishingly rare feat - being at once hugely readable and profoundly important (Observer)
Mythic, ominous and sensitively human, Melmoth is haunting in all the best ways (Frances Hardinge)
This is a beautiful, devastating, brilliant book. It affected me so much I was shaking after I read it. The exquisite, immersive writing compelled me to keep reading even through the horrors described. (Marian Keyes)
Astonishingly dark, rich storytelling, exquisitely balanced between gothic shocks and emotional truth (Francis Spufford)
Sarah Perry is a wonderful writer, the real thing (Susan Hill)
The rich Gothic imagination of Perry's bestselling The Essex Serpent is on sparkling form here, as Melmoth wanders across centuries and continents, linking the stories of all who encounter her in a gloriously multi-layered narrative which is both chilling and redemptive. (Jane Shilling Daily Mail 2019-10-25)

Sarah Perry is a wonderful writer, the real thing (Susan Hill)
Atmospheric and unsettling, Perry's version works on one level as a creepy ghost story, but its greater purpose is to pose
hard questions about suffering, redemption, complicity and our responsibilities to each other.
The rich Gothic imagination of Perry's bestselling The Essex Serpent is on sparkling form here, as Melmoth wanders across centuries and continents, linking the stories of all who encounter her in a gloriously multi-layered narrative which is both chilling and redemptive.
