“I went through a phase a few years ago of reading as much Deborah Levy as I could get my hands on. I can safely say this is my favourite of hers that I’ve read so far… Usually I fall into the trap of nitpicking when I read anything about classical music but it’s so emotional and compelling that I totally forgot to be a pedant.”

“From Ochuko: “I’ve been on a Deborah Levy kick. She’s accessible but also pretty erudite.” (I, Clara, read this last year and greatly enjoyed. Also check out her memoir “The Cost of Living” about the end of her marriage and starting over in mid-life.)”

“I bought this because of the cover - naturally. The writing was good - this much I remember but the ending had more potential. I remember reading this last September after school had begun and life felt a little less intense. I bought this at Books and Company in Picton, Maine”
