Revue de presse

An intricately constructed, powerfully written piece: the work of a serious, hard-working novelist in his prime. In the nexus of art, war and flawed humanity, Thorpe has found a thrilling, evanescent beauty. (Sunday Telegraph)

A gem...he enfolds us in the macabre, dust-laden terror of an enemy artillery strike, his imagery so vivid it causes one's throat to constrict. (Literary Review)

Art and war collide in this powerful novel... Moving and thought-provoking. (Daily Telegraph) --Daily Telegraph

An elaborately plotted work of formal brilliance and invention...a compelling fiction that memorably portrays the wretchedness of war. (Evening Standard) --Evening Standard

A wholly gripping meditation on the place of art and beauty in a world governed by violence... Beautiful and compelling. (Daily Mail) --Daily Mail

Présentation de l'éditeur
