TransAtlantic

From the New York Times -bestselling, National Book Award-winning, Booker Prize-longlisted author of Apeirogon and Let the Great World Spin

It is, simply, perfect

Majestic

Quite simply one of the best, most sustained pieces of fiction I’ve read in some time ... A novel of true resonance and power

His vivid, reactive and heartfelt fiction lives and breathes, sighs and weeps

Beautifully hypnotic … Those who can’t see the point of historical novels will find their answer here

A very gifted, charming writer; in full, rhapsodic-onrush mode, he is hard to resist

Beautifully poignant

McCann is no stranger to literary prizes — but if I were him, I’d start clearing my mantelpiece for a few more
