Critics Review
John Boyne is one of our best authors writing today. The Weight of Angels is wise, imaginative, funny, and extremely moving. Art and Life, Tragedy and Love, you’ll find them all here in this rich and magnificent novel. – Tan Twan Eng, Booker longlisted author of THE HOUSE OF DOORS
The Weight of Angels is a marvellous conceit – a word Oscar himself might employ – a richly inventive multi-media novel of literary might-have-beens. Boyne is at the very tip-top of his form, and the book is at once highly readable and an intellectual treat for Wildeans and the wide world. – John Banville
