Una maravilla genial y fantástica. Soy muy fan. Es la primera novela que leo de Gaiman y tengo muchas ganas de leer más.
Nuorehko sijoitusanalyytikko (vai mikä olikaan) törmää Lontoon kadulla mystiseen loukkaantuneeseen nuoreen naiseen, ja siitä lähtee seikkailu Ala-Lontoossa, jota kansoittavat raoista alas pudonneet tyypit ja jossa henki on jatkuvasti herkässä. Pääpahiksen jäljittäminen johdattaa sankarimme moneen groteskiin paikkaan ja tilanteeseen. Sen rinnalla tavanomaisen arkinen Lontoo pankkiireineen ja taidekuraattoreineen tietenkin kalpenee.
