Review:
Extraordinarily haunting (Daily Telegraph)
Seductively realistic (Independent on Sunday)
If I had not myself witnessed the lengths to which regimes such as Hoxha's are prepared to go to cheat and deceive, I should have been inclined to dismiss Shapallo's story as fanciful, and Jones as naïve for believing it (A. M. Daniels, Times Literary Supplement)
Beautifully written, evocative and deft (Sunday Times)
'A compelling hybrid' (Jaen Housham, The Guardian)
'Biografi starts big and then zooms in. This is Jones's skill: to draw tiny details that contain the world' (Katy Guest, Independent)
'An enlightening read' (Alastair Mabbott, Herald (Glasgow))
A gem of the genre (New York Times Book Review)
'Curious and compelling' (Donal O'Donoghue, RTE Guride)
'This is a clever, surreal and mysterious read, certainly worth resuscitating' (Zoe Strimpel, City A.M.)
