Reviews for Faster, Faster, Nice and Slow

Is truth stranger than fiction? Novels based on actual incidents are fascinating and the title of this tale is painfully, exquisitely apt for a book where the repercussions of a World War II incident are described in tandem with coverage of modern day unrest in distant lands. Daphne was a stickler for the rules at work and at home, and had a hand in th fate of Italian emigres. Now, Rachel, the girlfriend of Daphne's beloved, baleful son Oliver, a television journalist, is making a documentary, and mischief in doing so. A highly praised debut in which the slow-moving pace of the telling gives more impact to the final twist. However, it's beautifully written, with a refreshing eye for original imagery. (Kirkus UK)
