Prague Noir: The Weeping Woman on the Streets of Prague (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781903517734)

"An intricate, finely crafted and polished tale, The Weeping Woman brings magic-realism to the dimly lit streets of Prague. Through the squares and alleys a woman walks, the embodiment of human pity, sorrow, death. Everyone she passes is touched by her, and Germain skilfully creates an intense mood and feel in her attempt to produce a spiritual map of Prague."
The Observer
The figure of this bereft woman develops into a memorable symbol: her sudden appearances - on a bridge, in a square, in a room - haunt the book like history, moved to tears."
Robert Winder in The Independent
"a haunting classic" Madeleine Kingsley in She Magazine
