Reviewing a bad book is easy. Reviewing a good book is a pleasure but the hardest book is the one that you find exceptional. Whatever you write will never quite do the book justice and there is always a sense of having failed despite having done your best. All I can really say about this book is that if you read just one book this year then this should be the one.
I'd like to thank those generous people at Bloomsbury for sending this book to The Bookbag. We also have a review of [[The Cat's Table by Michael Ondaatje]].
If this book appeals then we think that you might also enjoy [[Notes From An Exhibition]] by Patrick Gale.
