NGT –
a classic zweig. his descriptions are astonishing. he is a master of portrayal-whether the subject matter is a scene, an object, a body part or an emotion…and unlike proust zweig is able to “transfuse” whatever he desires in just a few sentences. one reads the story of Mrs C in an hour or so but keeps drifting in her story for a very long time.

An incredible journey into a woman’s soul and how we hide things from ourselves and one day we finally let go
I. Melnick –
This is a wonderful book, well written by an author that understands the complexities of the human mind. I recommend it strongly
L. Nery –
I can barely find words to properly describe the intensity of this story. So much eloquence, it’s truly dazzling! It’s drenched in emotions, but also a lesson on careful writing – words are not wasted, even through all the usual luxuriousness of Zweig’s writing. It is a vigorous narrative of which I could not take my eyes away long enough to realize I was not in Monte Carlo watching the hands of gamblers move through green cloth. This story will stay with me, and I look forward to reading much more from Zweig than what I already have.
