“Born in London forty years ago, Stephanie Benson lives in the south of France and ‘does not feel part of any country, or any culture, apart from the literary kind’. She is one of the most singular and remarkable voices in France today.”
Le Monde, 20th August 1999.

“Yes, she has written here a gothic thriller anchored in a more than contemporary universe. And as we said before the result is remarkable. The reader does not walk, he runs from one word to another and from one character to another in his desire to know. Knowing just how far the cynicism of money and politics can go to achieve its ends.”
La Marseillaise, 11th April 1999.
