What They're Saying
Critics Review
‘Lucid and touching.’
‘Reading this wondrous book is like wandering the streets of a bewitching foreign city, highly attuned to its pleasures and tensions, thrilled by its freedom and possibility. I was deeply moved by its tenderness, its honesty, and, most of all, by the unlikely journey father and son take to discover each other as if for the first time. Carofiglio is a master of voice and atmosphere, which gives this elegiac novel its satisfying and emotional punch.’ * Christopher Castellani, author of Leading Men *
‘[An] absorbing novel of filial bonding.’ * Booklist *
‘Subtle precision informs every page, as does a deceptive simplicity laden with all that happens when you’re not paying attention…Crisp, lean, yet quietly mournful.’ * Kirkus Reviews (starred review) *
‘An enchanting coming-of-age tale.’ * Publishers Weekly *
