Reviews for Astonishing the Gods

A modern-day classic * Evening Standard * Beautiful. A new creation myth * Daily Telegraph * Amazing. I think this is as close as you can get to reliving the experience of a bedtime story * Guardian * Genuinely fresh insight... the invisibility theme is a good one, for the multiple associations it carries, especially for an African writer' * The Herald *
