内容概要

'Exceptional' -- Sunday Times  'A profound novel, meditative, not conclusive ... Yet despite the absence of an easy happy ending, it leaves the reader with a feeling of courage and, in the face of so much evidence to the contrary, hope.' -- Observer  'The writing is clear, precise, feelingly observant' -- Spectator  'A delight to read ... a novel of great intelligence and understanding, populated by characters who are recognisable yet exceptional.' -- Time Out  'A powerful and lively book, seriously engaged and cathartic ... gently, almost imperceptibly, impelled by the nourishment of love.' -- Financial Times  'The uncluttered narrative and the slow, quiet accumulation of everyday detail imbues this novel with a quiet grace' -- Daily Mail  'This novel represents a shocking, moving but ultimately hopeful vision of the best and worst of humanity.' -- Daily Express  'In Clem Glass, Miller has created neither a victim nor a victor but a man driven by his own innate decency, a character in whom we can believe, a person about whom we care and that is what great writing is about.' -- Irish Times
