Review
'Extraordinarily compelling' Daily Mail. * Daily Mail * More admirable even than his previous works . . . The best novel of the year -- Le Monde * Raphaelle Leyris * Focusing on Corsica, but taking in Paris, Algeria and French colonies in Africa, its portrayal of the many accommodations we make with "circumstance" is both humorous and poignant -- Catriona Graham * Guardian * Ferrari writes with power and perceptive humour -- David Platzer * Tablet * A novelist whose concern with how we should live and what we can believe puts him in the tradition of Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus -- Allan Massie * Scotsman * Astute, cunning, brilliant . . . Prepare for wonders . . . Blackly playful and serious, this is an earthy, philosophical tract drawing on history and human experience; the tiny hopes, the immense failures and, above all, the ambivalence. Ferrari pursues his story with the delicacy and skill of a musician reaching the final note -- Eileen Battersby * Irish Times *
