Timoleon Vieta Come Home Reviews

A delight, a masterpiece of beautifully unforced comedy. * * Observer * *
By turns hilarious and heartrending. Rhodes is that real, rare thing - a natural storyteller. * * Sunday Times * *
Utterly captivating. * * Heat * *
This intelligent, bitter-sweet novel, exploring the relationship between an effete, expatriate socialite living in the Italian country-side with the eponymous Timoleon Vieta ('a mongrel with the most beautiful eyes'), should only serve to cement that reputation and confirm his early promise. I forsee this title being a spring sensation for Canongate, and it has already created a great deal of word-of-mouth excitement in the trade. -- Greg Eden, Bookseller
The best new writer in Britain. * * The Guardian * *
Very funny and very sharp with crushingly wicked moments. * * The Times * *
