Review
"'A heartbreaking book... the love story seems to mirror the complicated political struggle surrounding it and the ending is so painful, like Romeo and Juliet... A huge achievement.' Joanna Lumley 'A rare book - subtle, sensitive, sensual' Achmat Dangor 'Hardy's evident intimacy with and affection for the troubled landscape and people of her novel lend The Wonder House an air of distinction' The Times 'Brilliant... each of the characters is wonderfully crafted' Easy Living"
