Enon Reviews

I don't think I've read anything quite so strangely moving for a very long time. Such a relief to know there are still writers around who can write about real people, and who notice the world around them, and can turn that into exquisite art. Unbearably tense, but so rewarding as well ... every snatch of dialogue seemed pitch-perfect. * Gerard Woodward *
Harding's skillful whipsawing of the reader from the surreal to the quotidian is the best writing he's done ... Beautifully turned: Harding has defogged his style a bit and gained a stronger emotional impact from it. * Kirkus Review *
Gorgeous and haunting ... Harding's second novel again proves he's a contemporary master and one of our most important voices. * Publisher's Weekly *
[A] compulsive read ... it's so delicately written that you can't help but marvel at Harding's enormous skill * Psychologies Magazine *
This is a novel that just requires concentration, is all, and it repays that concentration with writing that is both beautiful and thoughtful. * Bookmunch *
