CHF 10.-, on registration
The Luminaries is set in the 19th century, on the Wild West coast of Southern New Zealand during the time of gold rush. Hugely ambitious in its scope, this addictive novel is full of narrative, linguistic and psychological pleasures. Written in pitch-perfect historical register, it is also a ghost story, and a gripping mystery. The Luminaries confirms that its author is one of the brightest stars in the international writing firmament.
