Recensioner i media

Praise for The Perfume Collector: 'This evocative novel spins you back a few decades to the grace and elegance of the '20s and '50s' GLAMOUR 'A mesmerising novel of passion and scent' - WOMAN AND HOME 'The joy in Tessaro's books is her knack for describing glamour. She leaves readers greedy for satin and lace, for angular cocktail dresses and complex scents spilling from beautiful bottles. It's a voluptuous and desirable world to drop into, but her characters have enough depth and moral ambiguity to lift this above most' EMERALD STREET Praise for The Debutante: 'It's an elegant and glamorous plot ...which means lots of mouth-watering descriptions of decaying stately homes by the sea' Daily Mail 'A shoebox filled with momentos sets artist Cate on a hunt for the truth behind the dissappearance of a dazzling 1920's 'it' girl in Kathleen Tessaro's The Debutante' Good Housekeeping 'Reading The Debutante was the most delicious treat. Engrossing, romantic, wise and witty - the perfect read. I could not put it down' Gillian Greenwood, author of Satisfaction and The Ghost Lover
