“A book like a fantastic party, as unshakeable as a child’s faith … Astonishes to the very end.”

“Alexandria, a lush paradise by the sea, comes to antic, full-bodied life … Gormezano Goren’s characters are vividly depicted as they grow up or grow older in a city of conflicting loyalties, riven by resentment, ready to revolt. Readers will be transported.”
