Recenzii

'Bathhurst's descriptions are precise and graphic, but also poignant ... Striking and memorable.' Peter Ackroyd, The Times '[Bathurst] is wry, perceptive, laconic, occasionally downright funny and uncannily skilled at recreating atmosphere...a pleasure to read.' Daily Telegraph 'Entertaining and gossipy...Bathurst pens vivid accounts of hazardous stretches of our coastline and the depredations of the inhabitants.' Sunday Telegraph 'A luminious tale of shifting sands and treacherous seas,' Monica Ali, Guardian 'She has a dazzling gift for descriptive writing.' Adam Nicolson, Independent 'Bathhurst has opened a magic casement onto a lost world on the edge of living memory.' Independent on Sunday
