Praise for this book

Page after page something delighted and moved me--marvelous, vivid tours of emotion, intelligence, poetry--every step of the way. Compelling.--Dennis McFarland, author of The Music Room

MacLaverty summons up a time and a place with an unerring exactness reminiscent of Joyce's Dubliners... a magnificent portrait of the sources and ends, wretchedness and rewards, of creativity.-- "Sunday Times (UK)"

I was reminded of the way Joyce Cary so brilliantly portrayed a painter's life in The Horse's Mouth.... What a wonderful writer [MacLaverty] is!--Andrea Barrett

More ambitious than any of his previous work... a remarkable novel.--Anna Mundow "Boston Globe"
