Recenzii
The Black Crescent transports you to another place and time and completely absorbs you in an arresting story of love and divided loyalties. Jane Johnson is a remarkable author... I loved it.
A compelling narrative
The Black Crescent is a marvellous novel, evocative, powerful and transportive, and Hamou is a wonderful protagonist, full of empathy and curiosity about people. I loved it and felt I had been steeped in Morocco.
The Black Crescent admitted me to a Casablanca I'd never imagined before... A hugely enjoyable and unusual historical novel
Gorgeous escapism
A stirring story of murder, magic and divided loyalties set in the Casablanca of the Fifties
A must-read
Johnson's depth of knowledge about Morocco is evident in every page. Atmosphere and accuracy exude from every sentence. The story is great too! I loved this book.
Addictive reading: once I enter Jane's world, I am compelled to stay and pause as little as possible until I have reached the last word
This is one to savor
BOOK OF THE MONTH
PRAISE FOR JANE JOHNSON:
'A beautifully written and intriguing story that stayed with me long after I had turned the last page' Santa Montefiore.
'A wonderful blend of the past and the present day making an unputdownable, beautifully written novel' Katie Fforde.
'I wanted to live in this story. Jane Johnson writes with such grace and ease' Carol Drinkwater.
'The Sea Gate just blew me away. Utterly compelling and one of the few books for a long time that kept me reading deep into the night' Barbara Erskine.
'Johnson weaves a passionate, lyrical story of family secrets, wartime Britain and modern-day Cornwall. Think Arabian Nights meets du Maurier's Rebecca - I loved it'
