Críticas
"A moving, funny, richly drawn story of a young man's attempts to find out who he wants to be when there are so many others who know best. Full of real pleasures and unexpected wisdom this book sweeps you along."--Esther Freud, author of Love Falls and, most recently, Lucky Break
"Francesca Segal's lustrous debut may have begun as a seed shaken from Edith Wharton's masterpiece, The Age of Innocence, but only a few pages will show how completely Segal has made The Innocents her own. The setting--a vibrant if enclosed London Jewish community--is beautifully counterbalanced by Segal's wry and compassionate voice. It is impossible to resist this novel's wit, grace, and charm."--Lauren Groff, bestselling author of The Monsters of Templeton and Arcadia
"The Innocents is written with wisdom and deliciously subtle wit, in the tradition of Jane Austen and Nancy Mitford. Francesca Segal has a remarkable ability to bring characters vividly to life who are at once warm, funny, complex, and utterly recognizable. This is a wonderfully readable novel: elegant, accomplished and romantic."--Andre Aciman, author of the award-winning Out of Egypt, Call Me by Your Name, and most recently Alibis
"An emotionally and intellectually astute debut."-- Kirkus
"Segal writes with an understated elegance."-- The Observer (UK)
"Segal writes with an understated elegance." "The Observer (UK)""
"[A] charming modern take on Edith Wharton's The Age of Innocence. With understated wit, empathy and a cinematic eye of detail, Segal brings alive a host of characters so robust that you can easily imagine them onscreen .A winning debut novel." "People (***1/2 stars)""
"Inspired by The Age of Innocence, Segal's book is warmer, funnier, and paints a more dynamic and human portrait of a functional community that is a wonderful juxtaposition to Wharton's cold social strata." "Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)""
"An emotionally and intellectually astute debut." Kirkus"
"[A] delightful first novel... wise, witty and observant." The London Times"
