Description
Book Synopsis'This is a text you will remember for years...austere, authoritative fiction, a fine and melancholy novel, its poignant insights shimmering' Hilary Mantel, Literary Review
Trade ReviewThis book is a brilliantly executed exercise in mood, which conveys the vulnerability, confusion and even the surreality of Schrodinger's refugee existence * TELEGRAPH (5/6/06) *
This is a novel of many layers, all of them startlingly evocative. It's about war, science, love - or the lack of it - big ideas and small kindness. It's breathtaking. -- Arminta Wallace * IRISH TIMES (17.6.06) *
Readers for whom the name Erwin Schrodinger conjures up only a vague image of a cat will find this absorbing novel, based on his wartime years in Dublin, a revelation. -- Christina Koning * THE TIMES (20.05.06) *
An atmospheric psychodrama... This evocative novel is distinguished by an undercurrent of gnawing doubt, and potent images abound. * GUARDIAN (17.6.06) *
A surprisingly insightful novel, beautifully written * GOOD BOOK GUIDE *
