“A wonderfully imagined piece of fiction … fascinating, well-told.”
“Foss’s prose flows smoothly … captivating the reader with cinematic sensibility. The author keeps us entertained with humorous wordplay and tinges of absurdity.”
“This is not a book with a conventional plot, but it does have finely drawn characterisations with an attention to detail and an elegance of writing that skims the surface of John Steinbeck … The elusive Candy is a fascinating character: unique, intangible, the centre of the obsessional behaviour of more than one of the inhabitants of this extraordinary book … Molly O remains enigmatic to the end.”
