The Eye of the Beholder

- Reviews -

A tale of love and abuse that is as powerful as it is elegant - and it grips like a vice, too -- IAN RANKIN Subtle, chilling to the bone and very contemporary. Margie Orford has a quietly understated, beautiful literary style -- PETER JAMES Orford truly understands the transformative power of violence for those who survive it and those who visit it upon others. It gives her writing visceral power -- DAMIAN BARR The acclaimed ' Queen of Crime fiction' in South Africa takes a further step into the dark. The result is as compelling as it is frightening and deeply thought provoking. The Eye of the Beholderis sure to play a key role in the ongoing debate about what women and men are, and can be, for each other in these violent times -- JACQUELINE ROSE Praise for Margie Orford: Margie Orford is a name you should commit to memory * * O, Oprah Magazine * * Wonderfully crafted and fully engrossing -- MICHAEL CONNELLY Margie Orford is world-class. This is crime writing at its very best -- DEON MEYER Orford has a rare ability to get under the skin of the genre' s conventions * * Irish Times * *
