Review:
"Utterly mesmerising and moving. A strange, Scottish fairytale told in lilting, hypnotic prose" (Eve Harris, Booker Prize-longlisted author of The Marrying of Chani Kaufman)
"Gone Are The Leaves is a poetic and deftly-crafted tale, richly told in magical language - a quest for purity, truth and ultimately, love. With consummate skill, Anne Donovan has produced a wonder of daring and passion, a mythical page-turner" (Kitty Aldridge, the Baileys Prize-longlisted author of A Trick I Learned from Dead Men)
"A beautiful tale . . . with such a passion for the language, and such an ear for its rhythms and alliterations, you'll find yourself wishing all books could be written like this. Perhaps it's too far to suggest that this was the book Donovan was born to write, but it fits her like a glove" (Scotsman)
"Anne Donovan is outstanding" (Melvyn Bragg)
"Quirky and endearing. Don't wait until your next life too read it" (Sunday Herald on Buddha Da)
"An enchanting novel in which ordinary lives are illuminated with extraordinary charm" (Daily Telegraph on Buddha Da)
