About this title

Synopsis:

The esoteric world of avant-garde classical music is the unlikely setting for a story of rare power - perhaps the most moving Michel Faber has yet written.

Review:

"Faber has a quirky imagination and a sharp eye, is clever but sympathetic to the reader, generous and sincere." (The Independent)

"This is a beautifully distilled piece of work. Its brevity cannot disguise its depth, indeed it emphasises it... The story is told with a dry wit that should carry a warning for the reader not to strike a match anywhere in the book's vicinity. This is a beautifully-assured novella." (Hugh MacDonald The Herald)

"Rites of passage don't come much subtler than this. Or, oddly, given the subject matter, much funnier." (New Statesman)

"His prose veers sharply from a delectable descriptiveness to spikily comic insights. Cerebral and observant ... here is a talent in the ascendant." (The Observer)
