‘This novel doesn’t pander to its readers, but challenges them to put their brains to work – it’s philosophical without being needlessly ponderous (…) A highly topical and timeless book.’
Jury Libris Literature Prize
Precise, melodious, imaginative and finely balanced prose which never becomes melodramatic or overwrought. I was tremendously surprised in every way by this rich novel.’
