Recenzii

"Enormously enjoyable...Harding tackles this novel's huge, tragic subject with a blissfully skewed lightness of touch." DEBORAH MOGGACH "Masterly...ambitious in scope and executed with wit and exuberance, John Harding has created a rich, complex and endearing fictitious world which holds important truths for our own." DAILY MAIL "Instantly winning...it made me laugh. A lot...Gaugin-gaudy, and as rich and spicy as a good dish of stewed yam" DAILY TELEGRAPH "Blackly comic...intensely literary...an allusive tour de force... thoroughly entertaining." THE TIMES "A multi-layered comedy...laugh-out-loud funny, ambitious, carefully constructed, addictive, this novel is one big damn fine achievement." GLASGOW HERALD
