Final Passage Bewertungen

"The Final Passage marks the debut of a talented writer...Phillips writes a nicely elegant prose, has a sharply observant eye, and the effect is truthful, modest and convincing" * Guardian *
"Like Isabel Allende and Gabriel Garcia Marquez, Phillips writes of times so heady and chaotic and of characters so compelling that time moves as if guided by the moon and dreams" * Los Angeles Times Book Review *
"One of the literary giants of our time" * New York Times *
