a haunting classic Madeleine Kingsley in She Magazine �An intricate, finely crafted and polished tale, The Weeping Woman on the Streets of Prague 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 "Firmly rooted in magic realism, Germain adds her own strain of dark romanticism and macabre imagination to create a tale poised between vision and elegy." Emily Dean in The Sunday Times "Wonderful to read aloud. This is fertile, unpredictable country, at once ancient and exhilaratingly fresh." Maggie Traugott in The Independent on Sunday
