Synopsis

Revue de presse

"Editorial Reviews Review ʺA joy to read, a book that brings about plenty of laughs, and a well constructed story from beginning to end, Henry First is the kind of book that we'd like to discover more often.

ʺ —Red City Review ★★★★★ ʺA restaurateur takes desperate measures in Lawrence's delectably dark debut novel . . . The show must go on and does, with deliciously droll scenes . . . wickedly comical moments . . . snappy dialogue . . . The tone is surprisingly light, like an airy soufflé.
