Shares much with David Mitchell's expansive Cloud Atlas, and it wears its blend of dry humour and tragedy very well... impressive -- Observer Ben East Gripping... painful and powerful, with welcome flashes of ironic humour, too -- John Sunyer Financial Times Marra creates an unnerving story of a world, then and now, dominated by untouchable authorities that operate at every social level... a writer of intelligence, wit and sensitivity, adept at telling stories that entertain but also create the sensation that they are not so strange as fiction -- George Berridge Times Literary Supplement A work of extraordinary confidence and empathy... a distinctive and heady fictional cocktail... thoroughly entertaining -- Liam Hess Literary Review Marra's sharp prose is alternatively ironic and poetic, giving a sympathetic voice to the most dispossessed characters...A memorable book on memory and how we try to remember' -- Stephen Coulson Lady
