The effect might echo Proust, or Alain-Fournier; the tone is completely distinctive
Roy Foster, Observer
Long matured, an exceptional malt of the mind... David Thomson's book is one that can be returned to time and time again to refresh with its vision and the brilliance of its writing

Guardian
A brilliantly original mix of love story, memoir and history
