Dark and delicious
Dark and delicious – Tom Adair * Scotsman *
What is really satisfying about this novel, like The Time Traveler’s Wife, is its depiction of relationships: the process of grief, the transforming power of love * Daily Telegraph *
An original, outrageous, and thoroughly enjoyable ghost story * Independent *
There may be ghosts, but it’s the human stories that glitter * Elle *
A rich, involving novel * The Times *
A ghostly love story and a lovely ghost story * Tatler *
The novel’s representation of London rings completely true… The universe of Her Fearful Symmetry is solid and familiar… – John O’Connell * The Times *
It’s been worth the wait… Niffenegger’s books are fabulously left field, striking an unlikely balance between romance and fantasy. A brilliantly beautiful book * Glamour *
Chillingly good – Eithne Farry * Marie Claire *
A one-off pleasure – Fanny Blake * Woman & Home *
