Críticas

** 'From the dazzling opening chapter of Day For Night, Frederick Reiken makes clear that the stakes for his characters, and for his readers, are nothing less than everything. Here is a world, our world, in which no-one gets to escape the net of history and no-one, finally, gets to deny their human connections. I held my breath while I watched Reiken assemble his own extraordinary minyan (Margot Livesey, author of The House on Fortune Street)

** '[Frederick Reiken] seems set to become a literary star rather than merely a cult author ... This is a novel of considerable ambition. Reiken skilfully marshals a cast of complex characters across a variety of locations ... Reiken is a soulful writer as we (Henry Hitchins, Financial Times)

Reseña del editor

The question the story caused me to ponder more than any other was that of what it takes to find a thing that's hidden, a thing that lurks within whatever it is you're staring at each day. Perhaps the meaning of the story is that you must look deep rather than far if you want to unlock any of the secrets of the universe, that once unlocked a secret loses its power unless a part of it is withheld.'

From Florida to Salt Lake City to New Jersey to the Dead Sea, amidst page-turning drama and mystery, Frederick Reiken's wondrous and exquisite novel glides effortlessly across time and space in search of one family's unresolved past.
