The Luminaries

by Eleanor Catton

5.0 · 1 review

Critics' consensus

"Critics widely praised The Luminaries for its dazzling structural ambition and richly atmospheric Victorian prose, while some found its elaborate astrological framework and vast cast of characters more impressive than emotionally involving."

An intricately plotted, prize-winning historical mystery with the same dense narrative architecture admired in Trust and Cloud Atlas.
