Reviews
'Wistful, bittersweet - and often very funny ... seems to locate all the quiet despairs and hopes of the human condition with exquisite precision' Daily Telegraph 'Sublime ... a richly textured, rolling and poetic voice' The Times 'Engaging, brilliant, hugely sad and, of course, ultimately uplifting. As with the other two, I'll read it again and again' William Leith, Evening Standard 'A massive, ruminative, poignant and cathartic novel ... it is a masterly account of a modulating adult life. Ford's canvas is huge, but his wealth of subtle detail remains astonishingly vivid' Independent on Sunday
