Die Querleserin (whatchareadin.de)
»This novel is great and intelligent entertainment with almost satirical dimensions.«
Renie`s Lesetagebuch
»A novel like a Screwball Comedy from the good old Hollywood times: fast-paced dialogues, scenes welathy of allusions, and an
unforseeable resolution. A discovery – and all in all a very amusing read.«
