Review:
Irresistible, unflaggingly vital. A wholehearted and sharp-minded celebration of the Great Theatre of Life (Sunday Times)
A novel brimming with themes of music, poetry, beauty, philosophy, death and the deep recesses of the mind (Observer)
An amazing coup. Davies has written a brilliant, never less than engaging work of fiction which is also a philosophical meditation on the business of living. I have not read anything so good in a very long time (Financial Times)
A wise, humane and consistently entertaining novel (New York Times Book Review)
