I look forward to more adventures from Lara Elena Donnelly.' - D.B. Donnelley's debut is powerfully seductive and wrenching.' - Fran Wilde, author of Updraft 'A glittering cabaret of a novel, with show-stopping language on every page.' - Lev AC Rosen, author of Depth 'Lust and betrayal, intrigue and treachery, feints within feints within feints- Amberlough will keep readers up late into the night.

What a rich and melancholy book so tragic, so gay!' - Kai Ashante Wilson, author of Sorcerer of the Wildeeps and the Nebula & World Fantasy finalist for 'The Devil in America' ' Amberlough offers a sharp, lush, sensual espionage Cabaret, a Weimar world of lovers, criminals and spies all floating toward the fire.' -Max Gladstone, LAMBDA Literary Award finalist 'Intrigue and passions intertwine in Amberlough - A city on the edge of political upheaval, glittering with decadence and riddled with spies! Be careful or you too will be lost in the whirl of the kind of glamour familiar in 1930s Shanghai or Weimar-era Berlin. In Amberlough Donnelly takes us to a city and culture just tipping from this pluperfect moment. Very Evelyn Waugh meets The Sandbaggers.' - John Chu, Hugo-award winning author 'A peach softens and grows sweeter until it reaches a fragile state, lasting only about six hours, during which it's actually better than perfect-and then it goes off, it's gone, it's through. It will change you.' -Hugo Award-winning author Mary Robinette Kowal 'An astonishing first novel!' -World Fantasy Award-winning author Ellen Kushner 'Sparkling with slang, full of riotous characters, and dripping with intrigue, Amberlough is a dazzling romp through a tumultuous, ravishing world.' -Robert Jackson Bennett, winner of the Shirley Jackson Award and the Edgar Award 'It's a terrific novel. It is beautiful, all too real, and full of pain. ' Amberlough grabbed me from the first page.
