The Light of Amsterdam by David Park
The extraordinary new novel from David Park
Subtle, understated, not without a hint of menace and always courageous.. An important book * Eileen Battersby, Irish Times *
Marvellously compelling ... Park takes that most difficult of subjects - recent history - and with graceful integrity explores the difficulties involved in coming to terms with the legacies of the past ... beautifully described in Park's crystalline prose * Daily Mail *
One of the shrewdest observers of the way we live now * Independent *
A stealthily affecting novel, this could well give more famous names a run for their Booker money * GQ Magazine *
Woven together with warmth, compassion and great skill * The Times *
