Críticas
Thrilling, transporting, delicately realised and held together by a sophisticated sense of suspense . . . more than matches the power of Fuller's debut . . . Powerful , pleasing and pleasurable. (Sunday Times)
A compelling portrait of a complicated, unconventional marriage, and of flawed humanity, with all its secrets, silences and deceits. Excellent.
(Mail on Sunday)It's the sharp eye for detail, sometimes bizarre, that makes her writing stand out . . . A story suffused with the poignancy of miscommunication between people who love each other, of the things we can never really know. (Guardian)
Claire Fuller has captured love in its fullest form, nursed on betrayal and regret and guilt . . . Swimming Lessons is so smoothly, beautifully written, and the human failures here are heartbreaking. (David Vann)
Bewitching and page-turning . . . an extraordinarily smart and satisfying read. (Paula McLain, author of The Paris Wife)
With Swimming Lessons, Fuller confirms herself as a writer of emotional depth, technical skill and sensitive plotting . . . What Fuller evokes beautifully are the complicated dynamics between fathers and daughters, sisters, lovers, friends (Observer)
A deeply moving read, with a mystery that keeps you turning pages (Oprah.com)
Evocative, immersive (Sarah Vaughan, author of Anatomy of a Scandal)
Extraordinary...From the opening sentence it is gripping...Fuller writes with a singing simplicity that finds beauty amid the terror...might well have you crying out for more. (Sunday Times on Our Endless Numbered Days)
Bewitching...a rivetingly dark tale...spellbinding. (Sunday Express on Our Endless Numbered Days)
