“An all-powerful tycoon : a blend of Onassis, Krupp and Citizen Kane. And a wholly fascinating novel.” - Le Point

“A brilliant tale, juggling the characters that seem to spring from one era to another like a scene from a ‘noir’ film.” - L’Humanité

“A fictional life that absolutely must be discovered, underneath the sensitive and elegant turns of the writing that does not hide its own pleasure in being written.” - Point de vue
