Viel should win new fans with elegant effort. -Publishers Weekly Sharp and memorable...a dark fable that reads like one of Georges Simenon's romans durs or psychological novels, which winningly fuse together lean prose, queasy atmospherics, raw emotion and moral conundrums...[Viel] satisfies with a potent concoction of mystery, complexity and tightly coiled tension. -Minneapolis Star Tribune Fresh and absorbing...grippingly told. -Library Journal Captivating and striking, Tanguy Viel's writing never lets us go. -Liberation
