Anmeldelser
«'Frazier's keen observations and unforced, unsentimental depictions of animals are wonderful ... like the western it references, it's far-ranging, hard-fighting and soft-hearted.'»
<i>Guardian<?i>
«A novel whose prose is so carefully wrought that it reads like fragments of a long poem.»
<i>Telegraph</i>
«Frazier is a timeless master magician who renders the texture of the landscape, emotion and history all excruciatingly real»
<i>Time Out</i>
«It is this meeting of two conflicting ideas of personal and social history that gives Thirteen Moons its great wisdom. . . alive with wonder and adventure. Frazier is a wonderfully sensual writer»
Richard Godwin, <i>Literary Review</i>
«'Almost a decade since the publication of his bestseller Cold Mountain, Frazier has produced another no less-absorbing and richly textured account of America in the years leading up to and encompassing the Civil War. Frazier is adept not only at the set pieces. . . but also at the more intimate observations of people and places. It is this that makes his story both a powerful dramatisation of a shameful episode in American history and a compelling love story.'»
Christina Konig, <i>The Times<i/>
«Its narrative has a thoroughly human scale and informs just as much as it moves and entertains»
Frank Egerton, <i>The Times </i>
«The history that Frazier hauntingly unwinds through Will is as melodic as it is melancholy, but the sublime love story is the narrative's true heart.»
<i>Publishers Weekly</i>
«What makes it so appealing is the voice of Will Cooper, which is potent, wry, insightful and utterly convincing . . . as rich a fiction as it is an eventful one.»
Andrew Rosenheim, <i>Time Literary Supplement</i>
«'THIRTEEN MOONS will provide the immense satisfaction of taking a literary journey of magnitude. Whether on a plane, in an office or curled in a window seat, readers who absorb Will's story will find their own lives enriched. THIRTEEN MOONS belongs to the ages.'»
