Voltaire's Calligrapher

'While the prose is richly reminiscent of Umberto Eco, the headlong pace of this dark fantasy-combining elements of mystery, historical fiction, horror and the splinter genre clockpunk-will let readers swallow the entrancing story in a single gulp' Kirkus Reviews

'A novel not to overlook ... It's hard not to make this novel sound cryptic, because it is, but in a wonderful way. It is packed with illusions (words are real, women not always), allusions and puns, all of which make sense when you're firmly in the grip of the story's thrilling denouement' St. Petersburg Times

'It's hard not to make this novel sound cryptic because it is, but in a wonderful way. The book is packed with illusions (words are real, women not always), allusions (if you're up on Enlightenment philosophy) and puns (if you love language), all of which make sense when you're firmly in the grip of the story's thrilling dénouement' Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
