    ‘Tom Stacey writes better about loving than almost any other living writer.’
    — Eva Tucker, The Hampstead and Highgate Express

  2. atempler

    “This remarkable novel is a concentrated and beautifully written study of the nature of love, spiritual and carnal. Stacey’s approach is through wonderfully detailed minutiae, observation of the people and of this ‘half Norse world belonging to the sea'”
    — Janice Elliott, Sunday Telegraph
