A wonderfully affecting love story * Belfast Telegraph * A lyrical and passionate novel shot through with the belief in divine order versus chaos; the belief in destiny and the demonic fight against it, and, in spite of all the evidence that life is cruel and arbitrary, the presence of the supernatural and the manifestation of miracles * Observer * A joy, an acutely evocative and sexual story . . . my God I couldn't put it down -- Marianne Faithfull A breathtaking affirmation of miracles and the power of human love * The Times *
