"Brave and intelligent...a mesmerising work" Independent "A stunning composition of human fragility and intensity" Guardian "An extraordinary dramatisation of a mind in the process of disintegration ... Brilliant - read it now, before it scoops up all the prizes" The Times "Touches a resounding chord of melancholy. The author, whose debut this is, is very talented" Evening Standard "This is a finely written ode to memory, identity and love" Financial Times
