Reviews / Votes
'Extraordinary writing... silk, secrets and silence woven into a gleaming Gothic web. What a treat' ANNA MAZZOLA'I loved it. A delicately woven novel with an utterly original premise, it ensnared me from the very first page' EMILIA HART
'I loved Bridget Collins' last two novels so much I was almost nervous to read this one in case it didn't live up to my feverish expectations. I was wrong: in The Silence Factory she has created another world that exists on the edge of time and magic. Epic in scope and rich at sentence level, this is storytelling at its most immersive' ERIN KELLY
'A gorgeous, gothic read perfect for fans of Jessie Burton' i PAPER
'Weaving historical accuracy with speculative fiction, this is a gloriously grim Gothic tale, where heightened emotion and a menacing atmosphere add a breathless sense of drama' DAILY MAIL
'Another cracking five-star novel by Bridget Collins' LOUISE MORRISH
'A wonderfully beguiling Gothic mystery' HEAT
'Breathtaking... A riveting narrative filled with suspense, intrigue, and poignant reflections' GLAMOUR

'Dark, compelling, fantastical and absorbing, Bridget Collins has done it again'

'It's as if [Collins] possesses a siren's song, luring us deeper into the story with each turn of phrase'
