Review
Very fine, engrossing, exquisitely original * Ian McEwan * An enthralling story of love and loss, a real literary treasure. One of the most original novels of the year * Robert Harris * You don't need to be in archaeology - this is a tale of rivalry, loss and thwarted love. It's so absorbing that I read right through lunchtime one day, and it's not often I miss a meal * Nigella Lawson * A rich vein of dry humour runs throughout * Evening Standard * Intriguing, tender and entertaining ... easily Preston's best * Independent * A delicate, quietly affecting human drama * Daily Mail * A moving novel that coheres wonderully as it progresses * Spectator * A delicate evocation of a vanished era * Sunday Times * Wonderful, evocative. From this simple tale of dirt, Preston has produced the finest gold. He keeps an iron grip on the reader's attention * Observer * Beatutifully written...there is a true and wonderful ending to the story -- Bill Wyman * Mail on Sunday * Wistful and poignant. A masterpiece in Chekhovian understatement * Times Literary Supplement * Exciting, evocative and beautifully written. A treasure in itself * Griff Rhys Jones * Shimmers with longing and regret . . . Preston writes with economical grace . . . He has written a kind of universal chamber piece, small in detail, beautifully made and liable to linger on in the heart and the mind. It is something utterly unfamiliar, and quite wonderful. -- Michael Pye * The New York Times Book Review * An enthralling story of love and loss, a real literary treasure. One of the most original novels of the year * Robert Harris *
