Rezensionen

Scary and smart, but also a philosophical inquiry into the nature of love and will.

The rich Gothic imagination of Perry's bestselling The Essex Serpent is on sparkling form here, as Melmoth wanders across centuries and continents, linking the stories of all who encounter her in a gloriously multi-layered narrative which is both chilling and redemptive.

A novel that manages that vanishingly rare feat - being at once hugely readable and profoundly important

Mythic, ominous and sensitively human, Melmoth is haunting in all the best ways

An ominous story of creeping dread, perfect for the lengthening evenings

Rich, elegant and atmospheric

Astonishingly dark, rich storytelling, exquisitely balanced between gothic shocks and emotional truth

This is a beautiful, devastating, brilliant book. It affected me so much I was shaking after I read it. The exquisite, immersive writing compelled me to keep reading even through the horrors described.

Sarah Perry is a wonderful writer, the real thing
