Review
Conjures a tale that recalls vintage Michael Ondaatje ... delicate and sweeping * Daily Mail * This is fiction of the most graceful kind ... a quiet storm of imagery and emotions -- Christian House * Independent on Sunday * I loved Painter of Silence. It was like entering a dream world that became more and more real, until I actually needed to get back to it. Her writing is so gentle and beautiful and takes you so confidently on a journey. I let myself be carried away. Heaven * Esther Freud * Painter of Silence insists on being recommended because of its unassertive originality, its sense of history, its knowledge of the unsaid and the unsayable, and - not least - its delightfully surprising ending -- Paul Bailey * Independent * Harding writes with exquisite restraint ... Her deceptively simple prose gives a startling beauty to the ordinary, and evokes great depth of suffering * Guardian * Harding's writing has a careful, lilting fluency which nourishes a slow-burning momentum ... an adroit examination of our need for a home, and the terrible consequences of its loss -- Philip Womack * Daily Telegraph * A must-read ... Hauntingly beautiful, for fans of The English Patient -- Viv Groskop * Red *
