'A Celtic odyssey ... Pears is a master at making you see again landscapes that have long vanished ... Pears has an unusual gift for creating characters you want to spend time with' - Guardian 'Reflective and utterly beguiling' - Mail on Sunday 'Compact and engrossing ... a narrative of chase and pursuit told in bright, direct modern-sounding prose ... pleasure of a novel' - Anthony Cummins, Daily Mail 'Tim Pears writes with precision and tenderness about the countryside and the creatures and people who live there ... A beautiful love story with an incredible sense of place' - The Times 'The events in this book, as in all the others, take place in the Pearzone - a dimension I myself have never experienced but elements of which I long to be able to share. It can be a place of brutality and heartbreak, yet it offers to those who live there at least glimpses of alternative, less irksome ways of negotiating life. Reading Tim Pears always reminds me that we don't have to be ignoble' - Haydn Middleton, author of The Ballad of Syd and Nancy
