Critics Review
“A minor masterpiece of the deadpan … a very, very funny book … genuinely original and written with understated intelligence.”
A minor masterpiece of the deadpan… a very, very funny book… genuinely original and written with understated intelligence * Sunday Telegraph *
Very funny and charming – Kate Saunders * The Times *
A brilliant parody… Blending the sublime with the suburban produces some of the best humour, and Medvei has it down to a fine art – Stephen Coulson * Lady *
An exploration of how myths are engendered as much as it is a whimsical satire of political ambition… Very much in love with the Sussex countryside that it so beautifully evokes… Assured, precise prose – Philip Womack * Literary Review *
a master-piece of writing – Mags Fisk * Nudge Book *
