Praise for Threshold: 'Exhilarating and highly entertaining ... colourful, scabrous, humorous and laced with arcane literary knowledge' - Sunday Times 'The funniest novel I've read since January ... unashamedly navel-gazing, slyly cosmopolitan and an absolute blast' - Daily Mail 'Doyle's storytelling is compelling and engaging, suffused with wit, honesty and emotional intelligence' - Irish Times 'Extraordinary, quite unlike anything I've read before' - John Boyne
