VANYA SHEKEROVA, Deputy- Chief Editor, Eva Magazine. “The novel is far from being a scientific fiction but a result of a long author’s investigation. Everything FILIPOVA is writing about is a reality and therefore this punctuality of facts provides strength to her words. As if she is gifted with the privilege to foresee the future the author’s consecutive novel “GLASS BUTTERFLIES” leaves us with many questions”. Newspaper “PARI” (Money), GERGANA MARINOVA “In her newest novel the writer is ringing the alarm with literature means and concrete documentary facts for the hazards of uncontrolled trade with “glassy children”. The book of LUDMILA makes you stand on end with each following page. And this condition is provoked not only by the fate of the characters but by the particular scientific facts either. Many of the characters have real prototypes. The described story may occur any moment to anybody in the world.” Newspaper “VSICHKO ZA ZHENATA” (All for woman), PEPA YORDANOVA The third novel of the writer LUDMILA FILIPOVA is a dizzy downhill in an abyss but simultaneously in several such places. Modern technologies which highlight ethical problems and refer to eternal philosophic issues are shaking our daily round. No matter through what prism “GLASS BUTTERFLIES” should be read its layers are always more numerous than they seem at the beginning. Free Style Magazine |
