Review
"* 'Sophie Masson is decidedly a captivating narrator who certainly knows how to hypnotise her readers.' - Lollipops * 'Reading one of Sophie Masson's books is like standing on top of a lonely mountain at midnight, under a star-filled sky... Her work has that same sense of clarity, magic and mystery...' - Garth Nix * 'One of the strengths of Masson's work is this creation of parallel worlds of fantasy which interweave with the old folk tale but also produce echoes of myth.' - Australian Book Review * 'A sophisticated and timeless tale of magic and human nature.' - Weekend Australian * 'Masterly' - The Times * 'A fabulous novel...' - Adele Geras"
