Trade Review
He is a master storyteller...and his observations of human nature in all its facets is wonderfully accurate throughout. * SUNDAY TELEGRAPH *
This is as colourful as a fairy tale, and brilliantly translated from the French. * THE TIMES *
Told with the simplicity of fable but set on the cusp of the modern world, this is a wonderful tale. * INDEPENDENT *
This is a beautifully crafted story detailing the intricacies of the folklores and superstitions which dominated nineteenth-century Oriental village life. * OBSERVER *
