'Erotic and absorbing... Written with startling power' New York Times Book Review

Recenzii

Intelligent, witty and stylish, the novel re-imagines a lost lesbian history through vivid sensual detail, evocative period slang (the title is a sexual euphemism) and a satisfyingly complex plot ― Independent

Waters is an extremely confident writer, combining precise, sensuous descriptions with irony and wit. This is a lively, gutsy, highly readable debut ― Observer

An unstoppable read, a sexy and picaresque romp through the lesbian and queer demi-monde of the roaring Nineties. Imagine Jeanette Winterson on a good day collaborating with Judith Butler to pen a Sapphic Moll Flanders. It's gorgeous ― Independent on Sunday

This could be the most important debut of its kind since that of Jeanette Winterson ― Daily Telegraph

An extremely confident writer, combining precise, sensuous descriptions with irony and wit in a skilled, multi-layered pastiche of the lesbian historical romance -- Christina Patterson ― Observer

Erotic and absorbing... Written with startling power ― New York Times Book Review

Wonderful... a sensual experience that leaves the reader marveling at the author's craftsmanship, idiosyncrasy, and sheer effort ― San Francisco Chronicle

Compelling... readers of all sexes and orientations should identify with this gutsy hero as she learns who she is and how to love ― Newsday

Delectable... written in roguishly lilting prose filled with the sights, sounds and stenches of London street life ― Seattle Times

Glorious... an exceptional debut ― Boston Globe

Richly entertaining... Waters's debut offers terrific entertainment: swiftly paced, crammed with colorful depictions of 1890s London and vividly sketched Dickensian supporting characters, pulsating with highly charged (and explicitly presented) erotic heat ― Kirkus

This lush tale fearlessly and feverishly exposes the political, social and sexual subversions of Victorian-era gender-benders: sapphists, libertines and passing women... Waters is a masterful storyteller... Nancy's search for love and identity is a raucous, passionate adventure and a rare, thrilling read ― Publishers Weekly
