Reviews
"Is inheritance something you construct, or something that is given to you? Are freedom and mobility precious gifts, or wretched pollutants? These are some of the questions Hughes's novel asks.... Hughes is a very good writer, if 'good writing' has to do with precision, eloquence, beauty and passionately held belief." - Times Literary Supplement; "A beautiful novel, rich in the complexities of childhood love and obsession, of adult remorse and the insatiable yearning for absolution." - Madeline Thein; "A provocative exploration of the difficulty of leaving childhood behind, and about how being treated like an outsider all your life will leave you with a tragic sense of entitlement." - The Walrus; "Superbly accomplished ... Hughes' prose is startling and luminous." - Financial Times
