Industry reviews
"Although it has its moments of excess, particularly in the occasionally florid writing style, Edith Grossman's translation is supple and elegant, and Montero's unromantic vision and crisp pace strike a harmonious balance with the lushness of the background detail. The brevity of the novel allows us to focus on its tightly wound plot and its timeless archetypal confrontation."
