Recensioner i media

An assured and absorbing debut … Immensely pleasurable reading. Ms Pulley’s prose is strong and energetic, with a wry edge … The Watchmaker of Filigree Street might be compared to one of Mori’s clockwork birds: intricate, charming and altogether surprising

  1. 5/5 Nikki

    Jag hade till en början lite svårt att greppa vissa av berättelsens nyanser, men så snart det stod klart vad som pågick blev jag helt fängslad. Det är en fantastisk kärlekshistoria, fylld av lekfullhet, hjärtesorg och hopp.

  2. 5/5 Henny

    En av de absolut bästa böckerna jag läst i genren. Både storyn och den historiska miljön var gripande och gjorde det svårt att lägga ifrån sig boken.
