SIN
New York Times
Michiko Kakutani
Sin is reminiscent..of the work of Racine and Laclos. As in
Phèdre, the narrative is tripped down to a single, inexorable
storyline that centres on the destructive power of passion. As in
Les Liasons Dangereuses, innocence and virtue are cruelly and
deliberately betrayed, as the reader looks on with mingled shock and
fascination...a tour de force.
Nicholas Hytner
A powerful experience ...it has force and simplicity ...and striking
confidence ...making for a read that is short , fast and frightening.
Daily Mail
Josephine Hart has enormous talent. her prose reaches out with skeletal
fingers and grabs...encompassing sex, death, envy and seduction..
Cosmopolitan
A shocking story of forbidden emotion and slow ruin.
So tightly strung is Hart's sensibility , so unrelenting in its intensity,
you'll need a five minute deep breathing bout when you're done. But you
won't be able to put it down.
The Times
The elegant, adamantine prose is a powerful as ever...devastation and death, on the scale of a Jacobean tragedy, are contained within a cool and ruthless grasp.
Irish Times
Eileen Battersby
Obsessional hatred has seldom been treated with such precision... a compelling, literary and sinister tale filtered through a sophisticated intelligence with a sure feel for the ricochet effects of psychological violence.
