John Pipkin

Opis

A transporting new historical novel from the acclaimed author of Woodsburner.

Recenzje

[The novel's] power lies in its vibrant and arresting imagery, resonant themes and sense of intellectual ferment. In his extraordinary ability to convey his characters' emotions as they take in the universe's immensity, Pipkin captures our own awe and sense of puniness as we look at the skies and the 'implacable cartwheeling of worlds slow and indifferent'. The New York Times Book Review
