It's a kind of furious pride, very passionate and stern. I'm always a little surprised to find my eyebrows unsinged after I've suffered one of those looks. I will miss them.' <br><br>'A visionary work of dazzling originality' Robert McCrum, <i>Observer </i><br><br>'Writing of this quality, with an authority as unforced as the perfect pitch in music, is rare and carries with it a sense almost of danger' Jane Shilling, <i>Sunday Telegraph</i><br><br>'It is difficult not to be awed, moved and ultimately humbled' Neel Mukherjee,<i> The Times </i><br><br>'A great work of literature' John de Falbe, <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br><br>Chosen by the<i> New York Times Book Review </i>as one of the top six novels of the year</p>
