"This was my favourite book on my course - such an epic and heartbreaking story of the many generations of a family destroyed by male dominance and racial tension."
"A beautiful piece of work, with haunting reminders of the Spanish Civil War paired with gothic themes, romance, betrayal, secrecy and of course Barcelona!"
"If you love the circus then maybe this isn't for you... however if you love the grotesque, the fabulous, the carnivalesque and the freak then you will LOVE this."
"This book may seem a straightforward possession story at first - but look further into the novel and you'll be left questioning demonisation itself, the role of God and the female Gothic!"
