No Telling by Adam Thorpe

No Telling by Adam Thorpe

Set in 1968 in the Parisian suburbs, No Telling is narrated by twelve-year-old Gilles as he approaches his Solemn Communion, puberty, and some sense of the chaos around him.

Meticulously observed..a riveting tour de force... Impossible to put down * Daily Telegraph *
A wonderful, clear-eyed portrayal of a child's bewildered negotiations with the adult world, shot through with evocative details... No Telling is beautifully written, extremely moving...not merely readable, but gripping * Independent *
An extraordinarily beautiful and moving novel, the best yet from one of the finest and most underrated writers working in English today -- John Burnside * Scotsman *
Wonderful...the imaginative tour-de-force Thorpe achieves with No Telling confirms his status as an A-Team novelist * Financial Times *
It is beautifully done. Thorpe perfectly captures the inconsequential nature of adolescence...powerful reading * The Economist *
