About this title

Review

It's clear from the first page that this is prize-winning stuff! Being a truthful writer, Jones sees nothing neither his heroes nor his villains in black and white. His is a bold inquiry into the way that we construct and repair our communities, and ourselves, with stories old and new (- The Times 'In this dazzling story-within-a-story, Jones has created a microcosm of post-colonial literature, hybridising the narratives of back and white races to create a new and resonant fable !

- Observer 'Mister Pip" is a poignant and impressive work which can take its place alongside the classical novels of adolescence (-- Times Literary Supplement 'A major word-of-mouth bestseller')
