All Quiet on the Orient Express by Magnus Mills

All Quiet on the Orient Express by Magnus Mills

Innocence, experience and comedy in Cumbria, from 'a British writer to be treasured and revered' Independent on Sunday As the wet lakeland fells grow misty and the holiday season draws to a close! As the tourists trickle away from the campsite, along with the sunshine, and the hot water, and the last of the good beer! A man accidentally spills a tin of green paint, and thereby condemns himself to death.

'Absorbing, darkly worrying and very, very funny' The Times 'Brilliant, hilariously surrealLike the Coen Brothers directing an Alan Bennett play! Fantastic.' Daily Mirror 'So refreshingly original it is astounding. He is also very funny.' New Statesman 'Less like a novel than a shaggy-dog story, told by a lucid madman in a dank country pub, which so expertly keeps you guessing and imagining unseen horrors that you ignore the storyteller's eccentricities and keep topping up his beer until the very end' Literary Review

magnus mills's work has been translated into no less than twenty languages. He is the author of a book of short stories, Only When the Sun Shines Brightly, as well as four novels: Three to See the King, All Quiet on the Orient Express, The Scheme for Full Employment and The Restraint of Beasts, a novel which won the McKitterick Prize, and was shortlisted for both the Booker Prize and the Whitbread First Novel Award.
