The Poison That Fascinates Bewertungen

Highly original. Her prose is poetic in the true sense: precise as a scalpel, lyrical and the story is unputdownable. -- Ruth Padel * * Guardian * *
What a marvelous writer Clement is. She contains all this power in a prose that is simple and simply beguiling. A cri de coeur. * * Scotsman * *
Might have been produced by Angela Carter . . . Weird, unpredictable and magic realist. * * Independent * *
Vivid with detail, each colour-soaked page leading us irresistibly to the next. -- Kirsty Gunn, author of Featherstone
An astonishing novel, every line alive, leading as if effortlessly to a shocking climax. A work of power and originality. -- Alan Sillitoe, author of The Loneliness of the Long-Distance Runner
