Critics Review
PRAISE FOR A THOUSAND FEASTS:
‘I loved this. It is a secular book of hours – thoughts and pleasures beautifully cadenced and generously placed’ Edmund de Waal, author of The Hare with Amber Eyes
‘Nigel Slater has a magical capacity to find beauty in the smallest moments. A nourishing, sustaining book’ Olivia Laing, author of The Garden Against Time
‘Nigel Slater’s prose is the rarest delicacy of all: exquisite yet effortless, filled with heart, tenderness, yearning and humour. I feel so lucky to exist in a time when Slater is writing about what it is to be alive’ Elizabeth Day, author of Friendaholic
‘The granular detail and the passion are obviously signature Slater, but this book feels different: a sort of timeless diary, with its glimpsed, generous offerings to the tired reader, who in days like ours might forget that there’s still so much beauty to be had’ Jessie Burton, author of The Miniaturist
