PositiveBookTribA daring project infused with his signature beauty, rigor and sweeping ambition, with a heavy emphasis on thought rather than feeling ... His prose remains polished, every sentence carefully tuned. He has a remarkable ability to take abstract concepts and render them in lucid, even lyrical, language. There are moments where science, literature and history intertwine beautifully, and readers will recognize the intelligence and clarity that have defined his career ... A brave and ambitious exploration of uncertainty that challenges more than it comforts, but reminds us why McEwan remains one of the most vital and cherished voices in contemporary fiction.
RaveBookTribReads like a dream you’re not quite sure you’ve woken up from. A noir that hums with unease and foggy edges, Dwyer Murphy’s latest isn’t just a crime novel, it’s a ghost story masquerading as a legal thriller, a meditation on memory, and a lyrical descent into the uncanny ... From the first page, Murphy casts a spell. The prose is moody and precise, soaked in salt air and ambiguity ... Unfolds in waves ... Murphy doesn’t just tell a story — he conjures a mood. And long after the final page, you’re left wondering: Did I read that, or did I dream it?
