'An ice-cold skewering of patriarchy, humanity and the darkness of 20th century Europe' The Times _________________________________

'It's like this, Saul Adler.' 'No, it's like this, Jennifer Moreau.'

In 1988, Saul Adler is hit by a car on the Abbey Road. Apparently fine, he gets up and poses for a photograph taken by his girlfriend, Jennifer Moreau. He carries this photo with him to East Berlin: a fragment of the present, an anchor to the West.

But in the GDR he finds himself troubled by time - stalked by the spectres of history, slipping in and out of a future that does not yet exist. Until, in 2016, Saul attempts to cross the Abbey Road again . . . _________________________________

Arvustused

An utterly beguiling fever dream of a novel... Its sheer technical bravura places it head and shoulder above pretty much everything else on the [ Booker] longlist * Daily Telegraph * Writing so beautiful it stops the reader on the page * Independent * A time-bending, location-hopping tale of love, truth and the power of seeing... Increasingly surreal and thoroughly gripping * Sunday Telegraph * Exquisite... A brilliant Booker nominee... Ultimately, Levy is concerned with power the forms it takes in our lives, the extent to which it is something we both possess and are subjected to * Guardian * One of the big stories in English fiction this decade has been the return and triumph of Deborah Levy... You would call her example inspiring if it weren't clearly impossible to emulate * New Statesman * An ice-cold skewering of patriarchy, humanity and the darkness of the 20th century Europe * The Times * In one short and sly book after another, she writes about characters navigating swerves of history and sexuality, and the social and personal rootlessness that accompanies both * The Atlantic * Charged with themes spanning memory and mortality, beauty and time, it's as electrifying as it is mysterious * Mail on Sunday * Intelligent and supple...a dizzying tale of life across time and borders * Financial Times * It's clever, raw and doesn't play by any rules * Evening Standard *
