“This gorgeously written debut, set in the cathedral city of fifteenth-century Mainz, dramatizes the creation of the Gutenberg Bible in a story that devotees of book history and authentic historical fiction will relish."
- Booklist (starred review)
“A sophisticated, moving story of the creation of the Gutenberg Bible"
- Sunday Times (London)
“Alix Christie’s finely atmospheric debut novel…[is] a worthy tribute to the technological revolution it reimagines, as well as a haunting elegy to the culture of print."
- Washington Post
“A richly imagined, emotionally powerful, spectacularly convincing account of one of the most important events in Western history."
- HarperCollins Canada
I and members of my u3a book group attended this event today and were most impressed by Alix Christie’s presentation of her novel. Such an engaging and warm person who brought her book and its background to life so effectively – it was no surprise that so many queued after to buy signed copies. It was a pleasure to meet someone who is an expert in her original field – printing – who could then ignite our interest so powerfully in the hero of her craft. I look forward to turning to the first page!
Thank you Liz! I had as good a time talking to you all as you seemed to have listening. It’s so nice to have an interested audience. Hope you enjoy the book.
