Compelling . . . it’s hard not to be touched by this sweet-natured novel.

John Updike once observed that J. D. Salinger loves some of his characters “more than God loves them,” which might be said about Wally Lamb.

A master writer who led a lot of people out of superstition and hopelessness

Magical... a literary and emotional feat (elegantly illustrated in red, white, black and gold) .Padel is too wise to allow sentimentality to tug at her sleeve. What she does, brilliantly, is to see off the sense of resignation that can set in at Christmas. Tidings is an eloquent reminder that life is hard, kindness is all and that the Christmas story goes deep. No sermon, this, but a moving poem just asking to be read aloud.

A gorgeous Christmas poem...meant to be read aloud, explores what Christmas might mean to us today -- not just a time of celebration but also of conflict and loneliness. Lyrically beautiful, and accompanied by gorgeous illustrations by Sarah Young.

Grass’ writing…is uncluttered and haunting… Tiny snapshots of morality more insightful than most novels could dream of, forming a work of real emotional substance. A fitting requiem for a true great.

A melancholic anthology of musings, poems, and sketches, delicate in both form and content as they trace the edges of ageing, death and the world we live in.

An absolutely essential prologue to Rogue One. If I had to recommend a Star Wars book to film fans that have yet to venture into the canon, it would definitely be this one

an excellent complement to Rogue One…an enjoyable explanation of some of the key dynamics in Rogue One

In War And Peace, richly observed human life - its catastrophes and passions, its thrills and tedium - mark out Tolstoy as a fox, who knows all about the dizzying diversity of existence

Highly and deservedly praised...is a remarkable achievement.

Wonderfully readable

Translators give their wits and craft selflessly in service of others' work; this is a triumph of fidelity and unpretentiousness.
