A proposito di questo titolo
The Grand Season has just begun and already Nina's debut among Loisail's most notable socialites has gone disastrously awry.
Nina has always struggled to control her gift of telekinesis, which has earnt her the nickname the Witch of Oldhouse. When Hector Auvray, the renowned entertainer, arrives in town, Nina is dazzled. He too has a telekinetic talent and sees her not as a witch, but ripe with magical potential.
Under his tutelage, Nina's talent blossoms, as does her love for him. But great romances are for fairy-tales, and Hector is hiding a secret bitter truth from Nina - and himself - that threatens their courtship.
The Beautiful Ones is a sweeping tale of love and betrayal and the struggle between conformity and passion.

Recensioni della critica
One of the most beautiful books I've read in a long time
Moreno-Garcia fills her fantastic novel of manners with sumptuous language . . . Readers who enjoyed Mary Robinette Kowal's magical Regency series Glamourist Histories will be particularly enthralled by the genuine emotions evoked in the course of the unsustainable love triangle
Overflowing with delicious melodrama . . . a great fit for fans of the 18th-century French classic Les Liaisons Dangereuses
This novel of manners presents carefully crafted characters with nuanced motivations to rival any Thomas Hardy classic. Moreno-Garcia adeptly captures the ecstatic highs of first love and the bitter disappointments of first heartbreak. Hints of the paranormal and dashes of adventure and feminism are subtly interwoven, making for an unforgettable work
This is the third novel I read by Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I loved all of them in different ways: each in a different genre by a chameleon writer with incredible writing skills
I seriously loved everything about this from the gorgeous, lush prose to the tiny intimate moments of heartbreak
'Straddling several genres with elegant intelligence . . . it's a slow-burn, stately novel about the magic of what it means to love, and love truly
[An] elegant tale of hidden desires and misplaced amour
The Beautiful Ones is a hauntingly lovely book, romantic and crushing by turns, touched with magic on every level
'The whole book is a magnificent tangle of unspoken words and feelings. Nothing is tepid; everything, even the absence of feelings, is charged with danger and heartache
The Beautiful Ones demonstrates Moreno-Garcia's smart and colourful writing, with descriptions both sensory and sumptuous, and characters you will root for, even in their worst moments
An engaging fantasy-romance with a hint of magic . . . A very enjoyable read, with characters who felt real to me and about whom I found myself caring a great deal, and gripping to the very end
The characters are wonderfully drawn, their desires and decisions believable. The setting is lightly sketched, but the places and the society are beautifully evoked
Moreno-Garcia writes such compelling characters that you are drawn in. This does not take chapters to grip, but mere paragraphs. This is a fantastic skill to have and one that I have witnessed in all her books to far
A delicate, character-drive romance with a modern twist
An evocative tale with a considerable emotional heft
[Silvia's] writing is elegant, rich in description and filled with characters that come vividly to life
