The Book of the Most Precious Substance Zusammenfassung

The Book of the Most Precious Substance: 'Compulsively readable' Sunday Times Sara Gran

A book with all of life's answers, if only you can find it... 'Palpably seductive.' New York Times 'Extravagant, sexy and compelling. I loved it.' LAUREN BEUKES 'A marvellous, magical novel.' Irish Times Rare book dealer Lily Albrecht has just been given a tip-off about The Book of the Most Precious Substance, a 17th century manual rumoured to be the most powerful occult book ever written, if it really exists at all. With some of the wealthiest people in the world willing to pay Lily a fortune to track it down, she embarks on a journey from New York to New Orleans to Munich to Paris. If she finds it, Lily stands to gain more than just money. This could erase the greatest tragedy of her life. But will Lily's quest help her find some answers, or will she lose everything in search of a ghost? What readers are saying: ***** 'Erotic, thrilling, and tense all the way through. There is nothing like this on the shelves.' ***** 'Devilishly delightful. . . THE BEST TWIST ENDING of the year!!' ***** 'I'm a bit obsessed with this book. . . it's sexy and mysterious and cool, like nothing I've read before.' ***** 'My only complaint is that I wanted more!'

The Book of the Most Precious Substance Bewertungen

'Gran's writing, like the grimoire, is palpably seductive. The search for pleasure and magic is an aphrodisiac, one that pulses on the page.' - Danielle Trussoni, The New York Times

'Gran perfectly captures the eccentric world of antiquarian bookselling while portraying a profound and magical reckoning with loss and the possibility of going on. She has outdone herself. ' - Publisher's Weekly, Starred Review

'While Lily's hunt propels the story forward, it is Gran's frequently exquisite prose that demands investment from its audience.' - Bookpage, Starred Review

'Sara Gran's THE BOOK OF THE MOST PRECIOUS SUBSTANCE is a mix of book buying mystery, erotica, and a pinch of Clive Barkerian obsessive existential horror, but it's all Gran. And it's all brilliant.' - Paul Tremblay, author of The Cabin at the End of the World

'Extravagant, sexy and compelling. I loved it.' - Lauren Beukes, author of The Shining Girls

'There's two types of magic at play, here. There's what these characters are trying to do, mixing books and sex and spells, and then there's the magic Sara Gran is doing to us, as we compulsively read this literary thriller. And there's a third magic we only wish we could do: pay in blood to go back, read this book again for the first time.' - Stephen Graham Jones
