From Deborah K. Steinberg at Goodreads:

"This is a big, multi-genre, multi-plot, surreal novel that deals with trauma and its aftermath. The style is literary, experimental in places, always attentive to the musicality of language even in the most horrific scenes. One of the most ambitious and creative books I've read in a long time, the story weaves together British and American expats in Paris in the early 2000's with Eastern European tailors and spies during WWII and its aftermath, and a few other settings I won't mention here because to do so would be to spoil the delightful twists that await. It's wonderful when a book can contain both horror and heart in a collection of multi-faceted characters (in this case, who may or may not be the same people in different versions of reality). Highly recommended if you enjoy a challenging, surreal book that doesn't wrap everything up with a neat little bow and leaves the perfect amount of mystery intact..."… (mehr)
