Review:
"His is a voice which Europe cannot afford to ignore." (Guardian)
"His observation of human nature in all its facets is wonderfully accurate." (Sunday Telegraph)
"One of Maalouf's most subtle books, and without doubt one of his most accomplished." (Le Point)
"Sparkling and erudite, this is a wonderful novel." (Independent)
"A splendid book that should be read in the way one looks at a highly coloured fresco, allowing oneself to be transported by the breeze that wafts Balthasar on the most unexpected journeys." (Josette Alia Nouvel Observateur)
