A propos du livre

Revue de presse

“Confirms her status as one of the most significant and exciting of our younger novelists.” (The Guardian)

“The torrential Lawrentian flow of her prose offers many heady pleasures.” (London Times)

“Her gorgeously embellished prose compels the narrative, along with the beguiling vignettes she conjures up . . . the effect is intoxicating.” (Financial Times)

‘Sarah Hall’s second novel, is richly descriptive, an evocative exploration of misfits and exiles searching for a home.’ (The Lady)

‘Twisted and tantalising, this is beatifully written and a worthy successor.’ (Ham and High)

‘The writing is so polished that it is hard to believe the author is only 30.’ (Sunday Telegraph)

‘Wildly imagined and richly written. Prose as highly-coloured as Hall’s has to be savoured’ (Independent)

“A vivid depiction of changing seaside culture.... A smart study of a subtle but desreputable art.” (The Independent)

‘The Electric Michelangelo is a work of unusual imaginative power and range.’ (The Guardian)

‘Hall’s sensuous and brilliant imagery does not disappoint.’ (INK Magazine)
