Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"Entirely successful: distinct, inhabited, vivid, and real." --The Washington Post Book World

"Chevalier's ringing prose is a radiantly efficient as well-tended silver." --Entertainment Weekly

"Chevalier not only authentically details the era's social mores, tensions, and contradictions, she writes the book we want to read." --New York Daily News

"I read Falling Angels in an afternoon. The next day, I sat down and read it again." --Janice P. Nimura, The New York Times Book Review

"Brilliant...a rich story that is true to the era." --The Cleveland Plain Dealer

"Chevalier's second novel confirms her place in the literary firmament...deeply affecting.... This is a beautiful novel, not soon forgotten." --Minneapolis Star Tribune

"Part of the secret of Chevalier's success is her uncanny ability to bring a lost world to life.... Just as Vermeer's work helps to explain his world in Chevalier's earlier novel, so the symbolic art of the graveyard illuminates Victorian culture in Falling Angels." --The Baltimore Sun

"Accomplished and powerful..." --Booklist
