Revue de presse

The author lays his heart on the table from the start, with tenderness when appropriate and rawness when necessary, touching the reader s soul thanks exclusively to the honesty his words convey. --Álvaro Colomer, Micro-revista

A book that makes the literature of grief notably richer. --Ricardo Senabre, El Mundo

That The Violet Hour reduced me to tears should not, therefore, be counted as a mark of its achievement. That it did so while pushing me to consider the condition of bereavement and our responses to it, the philosophy and metaphors that surround it, however, should. . . .And for all the author s thoughtfulness and exactitude, his intellectual searching, it is Sergio del Molino s grief, into which we re drawn, that powers this beautiful, bitter, essential book. --Times Literary Supplement
