Críticas:
A novel of exquisite beauty, which evades categorisation (The Times)

A striking piece of work, with all the intricate, precise beauty of an origami bird (Lady)

Gripping... each chapter builds on the one before, unfolding through levels of story to unpack deeper and deeper truths (Guardian)

Wonderful...a novel of detection, a thriller of the intellect (Sydney Morning Herald)

Stunning and hypnotic... You won't read another novel like THE SNOW KIMONO this year, or perhaps for many to come (Asian Review of Books)

This book casts a spell from the start....A highly original book full of small sensations with the bonus of being a joy to read (Shots Magazine)

Strongly atmospheric, the vivid scenery of Japan resonates through Henshaw's carefully placed words as he creates a psychological thriller (Scottish Woman)

The novel questions authorship and the slipperiness of memory...[Its] narrative twists are challengingly clever (Australian Book Review)

The writing is beautiful: pellucid and wonderfully visual, painting memorable landscape cameos. The reader is compliant, willingly engaged with a story that starts in medias res and branches in unexpected and seemingly unconnected yet complementary directions (Advertiser)

Masterful...a tale almost as seamless, and of such a rich fabric, as one of Sachiko's mother's famous kimonos (Sydney Review of Books)
Reseña del editor:

On the same day that retired police inspector Auguste Jovert receives a letter from a woman claiming to be his daughter, he returns to his Paris apartment to find a stranger waiting for him.

That stranger is a Japanese professor called Tadashi Omura. What's brought him to Jovert's doorstep is not clear, but then he begins to tell his story - a story of a fractured friendship, lost lovers, orphaned children, and a body left bleeding in the snow.

As Jovert pieces together the puzzle of Omura's life, he can't help but draw parallels with his own; for he too has lead a life that's been extraordinary and dangerous - and based upon a lie.
