Media Reviews
'A.M. Homes's new novel is weird and warm and wise and really rather wonderful. There's some kind of magic at work ... Inexplicably addictive' Mark Haddon **'This brave story of a lost man's reconnection with the world could become a generational touchstone, like Catch 22, The monkey Wrench Gang or The Catcher in the Rye' Stephen King **'A scarily human, kind, and alarming epic of second chances. If Oprah went insane, this might be her favourite book' John Waters
