Beautiful, dreamlike and oddly beguiling * The Times * A charming, sinuous, playful novel...global, universal, in its scope and feeling -- David Robson * Sunday Telegraph * Nooteboom writes beautifully. His prose is clean and precise without feeling sparse, and he manages to combine clarity with intense lyricism -- Rebecca Abrahams * Guardian * A plot as finely tuned as a concert piano...this is a novel which finally soars * Glasgow Herald * Nooteboom has shown himself a master of ironic wisdom, but also of elated, elegiac feeling -- Ben Rogers * Independent on Sunday *
