Critics Review
What a brilliant book. The Return reads as easily as a thriller, but is a story that will stick; a person is lost but gravity and resonance remain – Hilary MantelIt is likely to become a classic. – Colm Tóibín
A total work of art. It reminded me of Solzhenitsyn. It is of the same importance. I love it.
