'Japrisot is the most welcome talent since the early Simenons' New York Times Praise for A Very Long Engagement 'A classic of its kind, brewing up enormous pathos undiluted by sentimentality' Daily Telegraph 'Diabolically clever ... The reader is alternately impressed, beguiled, frightened, bewildered ... A considerable achievement' Anita Brookner 'The narrative is brilliantly complex and beguiling, and the climax devastating' The Independent 'Riveting ... A fierce, elliptical novel that's both a gripping philosophical thriller and a highly moving meditation on the emotional consequences of war' New York Times 'A kind of latter-day War and Peace ... a rich and most original panorama' Los Angeles Book Review 'Precisely, surprisingly evocative of the lingering pain of mourning and the burdens of survival' Kirkus Reviews Praise for One Deadly Summer 'A gripping tale of hatred, revenge, and lust ...
