Sinossi
Ricordate Jim Taylor, l’amico di Sally Lockhart dai tempi del Rubino di fumo? E la piccola Adelaide, che la terribile signora Holland trattava come una schiava? Sono passati dieci anni, ma Jim non ha mai smesso di cercarla; e un giorno, all’improvviso, la ritrova. In un rocambolesco viaggio da Londra alla Mitteleuropa, Pullman racconta una storia d’amore ricca di colpi di scena e dal finale struggente.
"Come le storie classiche da cui trae ispirazione, anche questa dà l’impressione di essere sempre stata lì, pronta per essere raccontata."
Publishers Weekly
"C'è nei romanzi di Pullman la forza quasi paurosa di chi sa finalmente inventare e costruire."

I read the four books in a binge read. I loved them. I loved the strong independent and unusual female characters. They are not of their time but negotiate patriarchy successfully in their own right. The men in their lives are their equals and retain their manly deeds without undermining the women.
Lost count of how many times I've read this, but I haven't added it to GR before. I absolutely love this book. It's so vivid, and tragic, and the two girls at the centre are wonderful. This is an absolute comfort read for me.
As usual, Philip Pullman has written another fabulous story! It was very exciting and I just loved the characters, especially Jim and Adelaide. It was great how we returned to Adelaide, since we've had such a long time to wonder what on earth happened to her. And it was so fun that Jim was one of th Leggi tutto
It were my list favourite in the series. Sally was never in it. And I missed her and her set to solve cases. But I like the history part of the princess family and how much they have happened in real. It was too read a mystery thriller series with a young female detective instead. I feel sorry for P Leggi tutto
