The Convent is at once a still, almost silent thing, and a blistering human drama...Karnezis's great skill is in evoking the haunting beauty of lost places and souls... There is a strength and confidence to Karnezis's prose
The Times
An impressive addition to the works of a master storyteller
Independent
Impressive... We witness justice and injustice, theological controversy, the politics of a tiny enclosed society, despair, cruelty, generosity, scandal, suspicion, and suicide, all told with immense verve and skill
Sunday Times
Panos Karnezis writes with assurance of a world which must, perforce, be closed to him
Daily Mail
This fragrant, fond and faintly otherworldly novel, with its final, poignant twist, is a memorable read
The Lady
Unexpectedly haunting, its details catching like splinters in that part of the imagination that responds to pure storytelling
Times Literary Supplement
Written with aplomb and canniness
Ursula K Le Guin, Guardian
