'superbly disconcerting...[a] masterful, prismatic piece of storytelling.' * Independent UK * 'Jones is a daring writer who can be relied on to ignore expectation, and is becoming one of the most interesting, honest and thought-provoking novelists working today.' * Guardian UK * 'Lloyd Jones's Hand Me Down World is a rich and subtle exploration of a refugee experience; it asks great questions about the nature of both longing and belonging.' -- Michael McGirr * Age * 'New Zealand writer Lloyd Jones is a master storyteller ...' * Weekend Australian * 'It would be difficult to think of another novelist quite as original or fearless as 55-year-old New Zealand author Lloyd jones. A writer of truly international sensibility ... Lloyd Jones's novel is freshly minted, unsettling and unsentimental.' * The Monthly * 'Lloyd Jones has plotted a fine and moving story with enormous compassion, emotional depth and tender insight into humanity.' * Sunday Telegraph * 'This novel is remarkable on every level...It is a piece of narrative brilliance in its construction. And is compelling in a new, quiet and beguiling way. Jones was shortlisted for the Booker Prize for his previous novel, Mister Pip, and he is sure to win fans and accolades for this one.' * Sunday Tasmanian * '... a compelling narrative and an absorbing (and sometimes uncomfortable) disquisition on relative morality and justice.' * Financial Times *
