A magnificently ambitious and enthralling novel that confirms Moring’s place as one of the most significant European novelists now at work.
from the reviews of In Babylon:
‘It’s been a while since a Continental star of fiction shone over here in the Kundera or Eco style. Moring stakes a strong claim to that role with this quite magnificent performance. Rich, Dickensian storytelling, warm and wise humour, a sweeping sense of history – a world-class performance from the new Dutch master.’ Independent
‘Immensely rewarding, instantly readable yet full of imagery, myth and magic.’ Good Book Guide
‘In Babylon is that rarest of things: a truly intelligent novel with a terrific story at its heart.’ Amazon
‘A fat, rich novel, stuffed with story, bulging with plot. Read it once then read it again.’ The Times
