Extraordinary. * New York Times * Brave, acute, elated, naked, brutal, tender, humane and beautiful. * Nicole Krauss, author of Forest Dark * Extraordinary... Evocative, poetic and deeply beautiful. * Tatler * Humanises love in a really powerful, beautiful way. * Armie Hammer, Time Out * Deeply moving...
