About this title

About the Author:

Michelle Lovric is the author of two previous novels and she compiles bestselling anthologies for clients such as Past Times and the British Museum. Her third novel, The Remedy, was longlisted for the 2005 Orange Prize for Fiction. She divides her time between her converted wharf on the Thames and a palazzo on the Grand Canal in Venice.

Review:

'This book is fabulous - funny, horrific, subversive - in short a wholly addictive read. I don't think I have enjoyed anything as much since Perfume' Joanne Harris 'If it doesn't scoop all the prizes, we live in an unjust world. It's an absolute corker ... It's years since I enjoyed a novel this much - or felt such strong envy of an author for having the breadth and richness of imagination to create such a world' A.N. Wilson 'This is, essentially, a love story told by a delightfully riotous collection of characters and voices ... Fantastically gripping' Marie Claire 'A witty, exciting, over-the-top page-turner which becomes increasingly addictive... Quite unlike anything else around - and all the better for that' Daily Mail
