Recenzje

'Beautifully written, I could not put it down... a tale of ambition, lust, betrayal and heartbreak...a compelling and enormously enjoyable work' Evening Standard

'On the academic front, here is the old Chevalier, exact and guarded, accurate and self-contained...On the erotic front, she positively explodes, the shy smiles of Pearl Earring replaced by a terrific torrent of carnal imagery, every sense invoked and appetite exploited' Guardian

'Tracy Chevalier gives the kiss of life to the historical novel' Independent

'With great insight, invention and a remarkable eye for detail, Chevalier breathes life into artists and artisans, their subjects and surroundings and, most important, their magnificent creations' Washington Post

'The story she weaves is as lush as the tapestries she describes, and her colorful characters leap off the page. A romantic, beautiful book' Booklist
