"The story has an obsessive drive" -- Christopher Priest * Guardian * "A Perfume for a new generation. Vallgren conveys readers through [Hercule and Henriette's] wonderful love as well as their terrible hatred with equal relish and aplomb. Tremendous" * Time Out * "Challenging and shocking" * Guardian * "The new cult read" * Vogue * "Vallgren's Gothic parable, rich in folk-myth symbolism, highlights the interconnectivity of linguistics, psychology and religion while never compromising the blood-racing pace of a rollicking adventure story" * Metro *
