Critics Review
A tour de force
A very good book indeed, the sharpest and funniest I have read in quite some time * Financial Times *A fat, juicy, tropical fruit of a narrative… There is astonishing landscape. There are numerous good jokes. And, indispensably in such a novel, there is magic * Independent on Sunday *A wonderful mixture of the mythical and the poetic, of the cruel and clinical aspects of life… I have seldom read a finer first novel. It is one to savour and revisit * Scotland on Sunday *Sureal and hilarious […] perfect for anyone lucky enough to be on an South American gap year – Katy Guest * The Independent *A tour de force * Time Out *
