Review
'An extraordinary novel. Part adventure story, part the life of a saint, part parable, it is an exemplary act of imagination in which Brian Moore has brought vividly to life a radically different world and populated it with men and women wholly unlike us ... We put Mr. Moore's novel down and look at ourselves and our places differently' New York Times.
'A dark, turbulent dream of a book' Time Out.
'A remarkable book' Anita Brookner.
'Compulsive reading' Sunday Telegraph.
About the Author
Brian Moore (1921-1999) was born in Belfast. He served with the British Ministry of War Transport during WW2 in North Africa, Italy and France. After the war he worked for the United Nations before emigrating to Canada in 1948 where he began to write novels. Shorlisted for the Booker three times, Moore died in California. On his death, the LA Times called him 'one of the few genuine masters of the contemporary novel'.
