Critics Review
The Vanishing Hours is a rare thing: a book shot through with compassion. Norris is more than a fine writer, he conveys a deep belief in humanity and its place in nature. This dreamlike, winding tale is a joy. * A. L. Kennedy *
Gripping, humane and funny. The Vanishing Hours is both a stunning work of art, and an extraordinarily important novel for our time. * Sophie Ratcliffe, author of The Lost Properties of Love *
A delicate tale of unexpected connection lights up another quiet masterpiece from Barney Norris * Waterstones Weekly *
A moving and unconventionally wise account of loss and memory and of how redemption works, even for those who resist it most. * Guardian *
Steeped in the powerful idea of personal rebirth through the imaginative engagement in the suffering of others. * Metro *
