'Savour and absorb the world Knox conjures' SUNDAY TIMES Here is a cinematic tale that is by turns dark and dreamlike, yet ultimately hopeful' DEBORAH HARKNESS, author of A DISCOVERY OF WITCHES 'Intricately plotted and gorgeously written, THE ABSOLUTE BOOK has something for everyone. I'm in awe of it' NEW YORK TIMES Review of Books '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. 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. Admire the sheer scope and grandeur' DAILY MAIL 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. Questions that might relate to her sister's murder.Ī book in which secrets are written - and which everyone believes only she can find. People are asking questions about the library. Since her sister was murdered, she's forgotten so much. Taryn Cornick barely remembers the family library. Everything fantasy should be: original, magical, well read, compelling' Guardian '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.
