Omschrijving
The international bestseller; longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and winner of the Ondaatje Prize
A quite extraordinary novel . . . the language is so fresh and crisp and sparkling. And what a narrative! What a story!
Magnificent and beautifully written . . . such a truly Russian novel, with its huge horizons, it is an exceptional event in English literature
Spellbinding. Though set in the past, this feels like the most contemporary fiction you'll ever read . . . A truly great read
Has the strangeness and clarity of a dream. This is historical fiction that transcends the genre - as intense as a thriller, imagined on an epic scale
The best and most original book that I have read for years
A strikingly unusual and ambitious novel . . . Violence and sensuality commingle in a tense, complex thriller with the sweep and flavour of Russia
This remarkable and ambitious book succeeds as a savagely colourful, always astonishing entertainment of elegant and bold storytelling
A powerfully realised novel . . . supremely well plotted
Once in a while a novel comes along that is so startlingly original as to defy categorisation . . . This is powerful storytelling indeed
Dazzling . . . Meek has created a unique story, distinctively Russian
James Meek is the author of six novels including The People's Act of Love which was longlisted for the Man Booker Prize and won both the Royal Society of Literature Ondaatje Prize and the Scottish Arts Council Award. It has been published in more than thirty countries. Meek's latest novel The Heart Broke In was shortlisted for the Costa Book Award and he has also written two collections of short stories and a book of non-fiction, Private Island, which won the 2015 Orwell Prize. He is a Contributing Editor to the London Review of Books and writes regularly for the Guardian and New York Times. He lives in London.
