Only Human

Only Human

by TomHolt (Author)

Synopsis

Something is about to go wrong. Very wrong. What do you expect if the Supreme Being decides to get away from it all for a few days, leaving his naturally inquisitive son to look after the cosmic balance of things? A minor hiccup with a human soul and a welding machine soon leads to a violent belch, and before you know it the human condition - not to mention the lemming condition - is tumbling down the slippery slope to chaos.

Media Reviews
Excellent, sexy novel in which Abraham, Sarah and the voice of God perform a subversive, jealousy-laden dance round one another. It sounds unlikely, but Diski can spin gold from the most unpromising settings and characters, and this bookk delves into all kinds of byways - infertility, obedience, autonomy in a relationship - with wit and intelligence. * MARIE CLAIRE *
a hugely engaging and entertaining book * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
both intimate and ambitious - not only human, but also divine * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
This is Jenny Diski's best novel yet. * LITERARY REVIEW *
