Rezensionen / Stimmen
Dark and delicious * Scotsman * What is really satisfying about this novel, like The Time Traveler's Wife, is its depiction of relationships: the process of grief, the transforming power of love * Daily Telegraph * An original, outrageous, and thoroughly enjoyable ghost story * Independent * There may be ghosts, but it's the human stories that glitter * Elle * A rich, involving novel * The Times * A ghostly love story and a lovely ghost story * Tatler * The novel's representation of London rings completely true... The universe of Her Fearful Symmetry is solid and familiar... * The Times * It's been worth the wait... Niffenegger's books are fabulously left field, striking an unlikely balance between romance and fantasy. A brilliantly beautiful book * Glamour * Chillingly good * Marie Claire * A one-off pleasure * Woman & Home *
