A gem of novel, a bittersweet delight ... Keun brilliantly conveys both the decadence and the despair of late-era Weimar Germany ... Expertly translated by Geoff Wilkes

I was struck by how contemporary the novel feels ... A female Times reviewer in 1932 noted that 'countless hard-working, industrious, healthy young girls recognized themselves in the heroine'. I suspect many members of our #MeToo generation will do so as well

The overwhelming power of Keun's work lies in her surprisingly raw, witty, and resonant feminine voices

The Death of Jesus is a necessary read, casting a strange new light on one of the world’s greatest and most elusive novelists

A phenomenon that arrives from out of nowhere and challenges our received ideas to breaking point ... a delicate, iridescent mystery

A formidably intelligent writer who synthesizes millennia of thought into intricate multilayered narratives

An extraordinary new novel… The Death of Jesus is the best in the series

Coetzee always writes with pace and precision. His otherworldly landscapes have a gritty, scuffed plausibility. Never overlook the deadpan comedy, either: he learned from Samuel Beckett, an early idol

A remarkable achievement by a writer whose evolution, at the age of 79, continues to surprise

The enigmatic final instalment of Coetzee's trilogy of novels...is a triumph: subtle, philosophical and playful

Comic, satisfying, thought-provoking, addictive

It's his supreme skill in mastering a lengthily interwoven chronicle, the evolution of such a range and variety of pin-point characters, the wit and the cultural ambition that give the novel a unique place in English literature.

Jade does what uncounted sexual assault survivors have dreamed of doing - she takes matters into her own hands. What ensues is part [...] revenge fantasy, part diabolically well-planned manipulation, and it's all done in lyrical prose that feels dreamy and so much like Shakespeare. A gorgeous, scorchingly emotional novel

This revenge fantasy told from the point of view of a rape survivor will shock and awe.

[G]ripping debut … Here’s a page-turner you’ll devour before the week is out

I really wanted to just press the book into anyone’s hands and say ‘please read this’! [...] An important read

Readers hungry for an in-depth study of a man searching for control, power and ownership will find satisfaction in A Good Man. But caveat emptor - this story inevitably hurtles at the end towards a chilling finale

This stellar debut from Ani Katz had us gripped from the beginning.
