Media Reviews
An extraordinary work...there's a volcanic energy to Zweig's writing...wholly mesmerising. * The Herald *
A far more powerful, worthwhile and enjoyable novel than our present bestsellers -- David Sexton * Evening Standard *
This haunting novel is a monument to Zweig's skill * Sunday Telegraph *
Language that pierces both brain and heart * The Spectator *
Stefan Zweig was a late and magnificent bloom from the hothouse of fin de siecle Vienna...The posthumous publication of a Zweig novel affords an opportunity to revisit this gifted writer...The Post Office Girl is captivating. * The Wall Street Journal *
Zweig is one of the masters of the short story and novella, and by 'one of the masters' I mean that he's up there with Maupassant, Chekhov, James, Poe, or indeed anyone you care to name. -- Nicholas Lezard * Guardian *
A brilliant writer. * New York Times *
I do think this is exceptional.There are scenes of hope and despair that are so lucid, powerful and alive. A classic. -- Esther Freud

Author's Bio
Stefan Zweig (1981-1942) was the most widely translated writer of the 1920s and 1930s. A Jewish pacifist, he was driven by the Nazis into exile, first in London, then in Brazil, where he committed suicide in a pact with his wife. The manuscript for The Post Office Girl was found among his papers. Zweig's other novels include Beware of Pity and Chess Story.
