Rezensionen
[A] heartbreakingly beautiful novel... George Szirtes conveys both the sophistication and simplicity of Szabó's narrative in a superb translation... Humble, wistful Ettie is a wonderful creation... Just as The Door won an immediate English-language following, Iza's Ballad is bound to become one of the most loved books of the year... This publication of Iza's Ballad, subtle and profound, is a cause for celebration Irish Times
