PRAISE for 'JUSTICE':
A fine achievement.. .a big-hearted book that will linger long in my mind.
--Rose Tremain
A novel about mid-20th century Italy: Miri, a Jewish girl from London marries an Italian communist nobleman, but her safety is threatened when Mussolini's Fascist government begins deporting Jews to the death camps. Miri escapes to England, leaving her son in her husband's hands. Local politics takes a hand in their fate, however, with terrible consequences. When the war ends, Miri returns to a devastated Italy, seeking a reckoning. If needs be, revenge.
PRAISE FOR Richard's Feet:
"Work of near-demonic beauty, antic imagination
and universal resonance." San Francisco Chronicle
"A darkly comic vision, entirely original." Guardian
"Brilliant, gigantic, appalling." Daily Telegraph
"Essential reading" The Financial Times
"Bawdy, turbulent, rife with fiendish beauty" The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Rivetingly entertaining" The Daily Telegraph
"A hypnotic novel, very clever, very imaginative, a breathtaking attempt to get a handle on the entire human condition" The Mail on Sunday
"Astonishing, affecting, holds the reader spellbound" Publishers Weekly
"Tremendous, a catapult of a novel" The Kansas Star
"As thorough an examination of postwar European consciousness as Thomas Mann's The Magic Mountain was of its era" American Library Journal
"Breadth of vision, massive feats of scale and formal ingenuity" The Guardian
"An enthralling novel, written with imaginative verve in language of strength and clarity, recounted with masterly skill" The Irish Times
"Ambitious and fascinating, a very fine writer, exquisite in his descriptive prowess" The Irish Sunday Press
"... this novelist of such amazing dexterity, humanity, inventive skill. He reminds me of Durrell, of Burgess - yet with a sense of tenderness often missing in those showmen. I've since read as much as I can of this writer, unfailingly inventive - as I read his work, I often feel (as with Powys often, and Lawrence sometimes) that I'm reading a detective story that turns to be about me" --Robert Kelly, Books of the Year, Readysteadybook.com
