Recensioner i media

This sombre and distinguished book is as fine a piece of storytelling as you are likely to read this year. - The Guardian Mal Peet, who won the Bradford Boase Award in 2004 for Keeper, has written a complex and rewarding novel which is two stories in one. Peet moves effortlessly and skilfully between the 1940's and the present and the characters are strong and well-drawn. Terrific stuff. - TES Teacher This is an outstanding novel. Outstanding in every regard. It establishes Peet as a novelist of immense gift and versatility, for no two novels could be more different than Keeper and Tamar and yet be so equally brilliant ... Utterly convincing. - www.achuka.co.uk - one of the very best novels I have encountered in recent years. - INIS
