DISCOVER THE ENCHANTING EPIC THAT WILL TRANSPORT YOU TO OTHER
WORLDS . . . 'AN INSTANT CLASSIC' GUARDIAN 'BEWITCHING' THE TIMES
'MIND-BLOWING' LAINI TAYLOR 'ASTOUNDING' FRANCIS SPUFFORD
'GORGEOUSLY WRITTEN' DEBORAH HARKNESS _______ Taryn Cornick barely
remembers the family library. Since her sister was murdered, she's
forgotten so much. Now it's all coming back. The fire. The thief.
The scroll box. People are asking questions about the library.
Questions that might relate to her sister's murder. And something
called The Absolute Book. A book in which secrets are written - and
which everyone believes only she can find. They insist Taryn be the
hunter. But she knows the truth. She is the hunted . . . The
Absolute Book is a tale of sisters, ancient blood, a forgotten
library, murder, revenge and a book that might just have the answer
to everything. _______ 'An instant classic . . . A work to rank
alongside other modern masterpieces of fantasy such as Philip
Pullman's His Dark Materials series or Susanna Clarke's Jonathan
Strange and Mr Norrell. Everything fantasy should be: original,
magical, well read, compelling' GUARDIAN 'Astonishing. Gripping.
Hugely ambitious. An extraordinary conclusion. Admire the sheer
scope and grandeur' DAILY MAIL 'A marvellous argument for stories.
There are Norse gods, references to Merlin, a tour through
purgatory and a strange parallel world where magic is real and
humans are bit players in the clash of supernatural realms.
Bewitching' THE TIMES 'Contains multitudes, spanning the
geographies of Canada, Britain and New Zealand; the cosmologies of
fairies, demons and angels; and the genres of thriller, domestic
realism and epic fantasy . . . I'm in awe of it' NEW YORK TIMES
Review of Books 'Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, THE
ABSOLUTE BOOK has something for everyone . . . Here is a cinematic
tale that is by turns dark and dreamlike, yet ultimately hopeful'
DEBORAH HARKNESS, author of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES 'Fantastical'
THE TIMES 'Savour and absorb the world Knox conjures' SUNDAY TIMES
'Gorgeous. The payoffs and reveals are mind-blowing' LAINI TAYLOR,
author of DAUGHTER OF SMOKE AND BONE 'An angelic book, an
apocalyptic book, an astounding book' FRANCIS SPUFFORD
