Reviews
"Wonderful, extraordinary" -- Judith Kerr
"I was very much moved by An Exclusive Love - such clarity of thought and feeling. What I think of Anthea Bell as a translator is little short of reverence, after what she did for W. G. Sebald: one trusts her absolutely, so I know for sure that Johanna Adorjan writes with beautiful precision and suppleness. It's a truly memorable book." -- Diana Athill
"The fact that the author does not tire in inquiring into this riddle, that she scrutinizes everything anew, courageously and with a biting wit, makes her book about a grim Sunday a sparkling work." * Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung *
"[A] story that is troubling in its immediacy, and which, via an intuitive sensitivity, captures a striking truth... Very simply, without pathos, without artifice, this personal account is written with the infinite gentleness of sorrow that has found peace." * Le Monde *
"A wonderful, extraordinary book" -- Judith Kerr
