Recensioner i media
"Madeleine Thien’s time-warping historical novel The Book of Records collapses centuries and geographies in an ambitious family saga.... In an aching, dreamlike narrative that overlaps distant centuries and geographies to chart cycles of authoritarianism and loss…This staggering novel blurs the line between factand fiction to underscore the importance of storytelling itself, as a practice of endurance, and resistance.... Try to read without weeping profusely."
