Review
'Not only a brilliant study of rural decay and the tragedy of the commons, but also both an unsettling ghost story and a strangely moving romance, and it succeeds beautifully on all those levels' John Burnside, The Times. The Times Nobody - but nobody - tells a love story better - Paul Baily, Daily Telegraph. Daily Telegraph ...beguiling, poetic prose...a moving meditation on what it is to love - Daily Mail. Daily Mail 'A wayward and extraordinary ghost story which finds room for both a personal appearance by the goddess of love and a discourse on the political economy of the British countryside.' Evening Standard Books of the Year. Evening Standard 'Layers are peeled off the palimpsest of the English landscape, and of literature itself. the book's final paragraph is nothing short of magical. [Buchan] is a novelist who takes no literary convention for granted, and each book he writes is a discovery' Stephen Poole, Guardian. Guardian I don't believe this country has a better writer to offer than James Buchan - Michael Hofmann, London Review of Books. London Review of Books
