Books of the Month

The Glass Room, Simon Mawer (Abacus) FICTION

Posted 00:00, 16 June 2010

I happily recommend this book as a masterpiece of modern fiction.

Jane Shilling in the Daily Telegraph Books of The Year said "Exceptional for its resonant complexity, its restraint and the extreme elegance with which Mawer uses der Glausraum as a metaphor for love, desire and memory."
