WILLIAM BOYDA fascinating, timely and densely pleasurable novel, written with measured and impressive intelligence and tremendous narrative aplomb.
ANTONY BEEVORBeautifully written and deceptively deep novel of moral choice set in the aftermath of the Second World War. The characters are as utterly convincing as the story.
Hannah Rothschild, author of the Women's Prize shortlisted novel THE IMPROBABILITY OF LOVEA richly researched and deeply humane meditation on love, faith and the long afterlife of war, set amid the final years of the British Mandate in Palestine and post-war England. Faulks has an extraordinary gift for showing how the sweep of history is lived through the quiet complexities of individual lives.
Afua HirschFaulks is one of the titans of historical fiction ... [and] has this gift for really bringing to life the minutiae of the suffering of war and violence. ... It's a really arresting book and important work of storytelling. A must-read.
