Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Minot reaches a new level in her career. . . . Brimming with stylistic and emotional intelligence." -San Francisco Chronicle

"A disconcerting examination of love and war between the sexes." -The New Yorker

"Minot's story . . . is timeless, and she makes you feel its pure, raw ache. . . . Rapture is erotic, but more: it's romantic in the true sense of the word." -Miami Herald

"Explores a tragic irony of love and sex: how one partner can reach the heights of devotion at the very instant the other is dumped into the pits of despair." -Time Out New York

"Mesmerizing . . . provocative." -Harper's Bazaar

"In Minot's writing, one is often reminded of Henry James. Like James, she pursues the filaments of emotion that almost escape language. . . . Minot's writing [is] beautiful, evocative, and self-assured." -O, The Oprah Magazine

"A splendid piece of narrative sleight-of-hand . . . that further confirms Minot's place among our finest novelists." -Minneapolis Star Tribune

"I would challenge any reader to read this and not find moments of gut-wrenching truth, as if Minot had looked straight into each of our hearts." -The Providence Journal

"In language simultaneously rich and spare. . . . [Rapture] has a muscular swagger uncommon in fiction by women." -Vogue

"[Rapture offers] equally convincing portraits of the ways men and women think about love and sex." -Interview

"Minot takes an insightful, intelligent, humorous look at the tangled mess of modern love." -The Toronto Star

"[Minot] draws the reader in with subtle strokes of mood and atmosphere and with her ability to express so much in so few words." -The Oakland Press

"You get the sense that Minot has lived every moment, spoken every syllable, felt every emotion. The weird thing is: so have you." -The Baltimore City Paper
