ReviewsThe best novelist of his generation * Scotsman * Faulks writes with great emotional authority * Sunday Times * An ambitious and beautifully crafted novel * The Time * Sebastian Faulks's third and most magnificent novel is a 'feel-good' experience from cover to cover * Daily Mail * The uniqueness of this lovely, heartwarming novel is the way it plays with the arbitrariness of significance whilst telling the story of an uprooted life lived as a journey towards love and belonging * Observer *
