Reviews

Praise for THE NINTH LIFE OF LOUIS DRAX: 'Liz Jensen's new novel has already been picked up by Anthony Minghella for a film adaptation. It's hardly surprising: this is a wonderfully unsettling psychological thriller ... An oddly beautiful journey into the darkest corners of the human soul' Mail on Sunday 'Liz Jensen has created an extraordinary character in the shape of Louis Drax: vivid, disquieting and blessed with a gloriously sick sense of humour... a magnetic read that will delight and disturb in equal measures' Daily Mail 'The Ninth Life of Louis Drax has all the makings of a dramatic, suspenseful bestseller... a novel that demands to be finished in one sitting' Observer 'Liz Jensen's latest book is emotionally compelling, morally fascinating and slightly appalling ... The result is breathtaking.' Independent on Sunday
