Trade Review
A story of love in a cool climate, intensely romantic and weepily beautiful...it is startlingly different: a true original * Guardian *
Casablanca remade Japanese style...It is dream-like writing, laden with scenes which have the radiance of a poem * The Times *
This wise and beautiful book is full of hidden truths * New York Times *
This book aches...an eloquent treatise on the vertiginous, irrational powers of love and desire * Independent on Sunday *
Impressively written and structured... Above all, the novel is memorable for its unflinchingly extreme treatment of romantic love * Times Literary Supplement *
