About The Author

Chloe Aridjis was born in New York, and grew up in the Netherlands and Mexico City. She studied for a BA at Harvard, and gained her DPhil in nineteenth-century French poetry and magic from Oxford University. She then spent five years in Berlin and now lives in London.

Chloe Aridjis has achieved something quite astonishing: a rethinking of one of our most complacent forms, the historical novel…. The writer she calls to mind is the Modernist Haruki Murakami, with his unsolved riddles and ultra-cool characters. It is a book that you press on friends

Other text

[An] exceptional debut novel…. a beautifully turned piece of writing of extraordinary assurance… As natural as breathing. Both vivid and dreamlike, at once very precise in its images and also enchantingly broad-brush atmospheric, this is a debut more captivating than any I've read in some time
