Review
'Harding's exquisite novel is a masterpiece ... a profound meditation on survival, atonement and faith' Daily Telegraph 'Outstanding ... Thomas Cave's ordeal should hold readers fast in an icy grip' Independent 'A haunting, beautifully written first novel, this tale lingers in the back of your mind long after you have finished it' Harper's Bazaar 'A wonderfully well-written story ... At a time when faith of any description seems unfashionable, Harding's parable is a haunting reminder of where we went wrong' Independent on Sunday
