Review:
"If you believe English fiction is jaded, you must read Adam Thorpe... Tender, precise, tragicomic and unsentimental." (Hilary Mantel Independent on Sunday)
"We arent used to the many deep matters Thorpe touches on, not to such a thorough grasp of the complex nature of our rural past, and through it, of all existence itself... Suddenly English lives again" (John Fowles Guardian)
"These stories sing like psalms, robust and vibrant - a poet's novel and a celebration that no social historian would dare attempt" (Observer)
"A superb and moving meditation on history, fate and the nature of time, Ulverton is at once a traditional fiction and a wholly successful testing of the limits of literary art" (John Banville)
"Spanning three centuries and encompassing a startling variety of lives, this debut novel from poet Adam Thorpe is nothing less than a bravura performance... With Ulverton, Thorpe has woven his own enticing 'secret web'. This is no mere promising first novel, but a major work, heralding a brillant new voice in British fiction" (Washington Post)
