Recensione:
Washington Black is a profoundly humane story about false idols, the fickleness of fortune and whether a slave, once freed, can ever truly be free. (The Times)
A lush, exhilarating travelogue reminiscent of Jules Verne . . . Edugyan, like her hero, can paint an indelible scene (New Yorker)
A full-pelt adventure story featuring hot-air balloon crashes, blizzards in the Arctic, scientific discovery, knife fights in dark alleys, bounty hunters and forbidden romance (Sunday Times)
Washington Black is a brilliantly absorbing picaresque; a book that combines the unflinching depiction of violence with a lyrical, hallucinatory beauty. (Sandra Newman)
Wondrous ... gripping ... vivid and captivating (Economist)
Magnificent and strikingly visual prose (Financial Times)
Washington Black is a gripping adventure and an atmospheric portrayal of 1830s society at both the fringes of the world and the heart of the British Empire (John Boyne)
A pacey yet thoughtful exploration of freedom, and our moral compulsion to act (Spectator)
Exquisite (Boris Kachka New York Magazine)
An engrossing hybrid of 19th-century adventure and contemporary subtlety, a rip-roaring tale of peril imbued with our most persistent strife . . . Edugyan is a magical writer (Washington Post)
