A novel dizzy with lyrical passages and pulsating with the musical passion of Clara's complicated, tragic love for her husband Robert Schumann
Scotland on Sunday
A powerful novel which brings two troubled and brilliant people back to life
Sunday Telegraph
A razor-sharp blade of light... This is fiction's raising of Lazarus, miraculous, touched with wonder, grace and utter, steadfast belief in the life being resurrected... A work of intense, unflinching passion and conviction, written with Galloway's heart's blood
The Times
Her limpid prose style is so seductive and so beautiful a fine meditation on art, love and loss...
Meaghan Delahunt, The Scotsman
Janice Galloway's exciting, vibrant third novel proves a virtuoso piece of storytelling...this obvious Booker contender is as compelling as the tormented players and music that inspired it
Eileen Battersby, Irish Times
Some of the greatest words ever written on thwarted love since Romeo and Juliet
The Times
You read Clara and you catch the music of another mind, and wherever it comes from Janice Galloway plays the notes to what sounds very much like perfection. This is a virtuoso performance
Scotsman
