A propos du livre

Revue de presse :

"Pop is an unforgettable creation... By some distance the most eloquent first novel I have read this century...If literary London can lionise Zadie Smith, it should pay Kitty Aldridge the same compliment. She has star quality" (Sunday Telegraph)

"An authentic, gentle and genuinely funny account of ordinary life... This novel is at once life-affirming and important" (Independent on Sunday)

"Aldridge combines rich, poetic prose with an impressively light touch" (Guardian)

"A moving story, told with wit and invention, and the language shimmers in the heat-haze of sadness and loss. A truly original first novel" (Daily Mail)

"Kitty Aldridge is a real discovery, a writer of precision, delicacy and wit, and her first novel is a rare delight" (Salman Rushdie)
