Quatrième de couverture
'A hilarious and original portrait of a young boy grappling with good and evil' New York Times Book Review
The gift of tongues, prophecy, exorcism... what might such concepts mean in a complacent backwater of North London? For Richard Bowen, adolescence becomes a nightmare when his parents join the charismatic movement and find a devil in his brother.
'Not since Catcher in the Rye has there been such a believable portrayal of male puberty. The quality of story-telling and the cadence of the prose have a piercing authenticity' Catholic Herald
'As a technician [Parks] cannot be faulted. His book builds to a terrifying tour de force, made bearable only by the tight prose' Jeanette Winterson
