An extraordinary tale of courage, self-sacrifice and love' Maggie Gee; 'Moris Farhi gives us a future fable aimed at the very heart of our troubled times. This is a vivid, urgent testament. Read it.' Lisa Appignanesi ; 'Farhi gives the glow of life to all he writes' Alan Sillitoe ; 'Farhi is fuelled by a powerful imaginative gift.' New Statesman ; 'Like a Truffaut of the East, who prefers the pen to the camera.' Elle ; 'Writing of this quality and passion is a gift.' Time Out; 'Farhi speaks powerfully and movingly for the oppressed.' Jewish Chronicle; 'Moris Farhi shames the willed littleness of British fiction.
