Omschrijving
'There once was a man who, one night at a dinner party, went upstairs and locked himself in one of the bedrooms of the house of the people who were giving the dinner party...'. As time passes by and the consequences of this stranger's actions ripple outwards, touching the owners, the guests, the neighbours and the whole country.
Whimsically devastating. Playful, humorous, serious, profoundly clever and profoundly affecting
Remarkable. A brilliant novel: funny, serious, always surprising, always true
I take my hat off to Ali Smith. Her writing lifts the soul
A playfully serious or seriously playful novel full of wit and pleasure. Wonderful
Eccentric, adventurous, intoxicating, dazzling. This is a novel with serious ambitions that remains huge fun to read. The writing dances along
Poignant, empathetic, funny. A book full of kindness and compassion
Fizzying, affectionate, sparkling. Smith presents her world view in words as fresh as lemons. A joyful read
A tour de force
A virtuoso piece of writing, both funny and gripping . . . Smith is a writer with a rich array of conventional strengths
