“After I´d read The Time Traveller´s Wife I got curious about what else Audrey Niffenegger had produced. Recently, two dear friends gave me The Adventuress. Thank you, Ladies! It´s like an old-fashioned picture book, for grown-ups. Being a compulsive reader, it took some self-control to sit and really look at the pictures, but it was certainly worth it. The artistic side of Niffenegger, which is obvious in TTTW, is paramount in this book. It's a lovely experience to see how image and language work together to make an eduring impression. This is a book you want to open again and again.”
