I did not expect this quality and had not dared hope for it Soon only fiction - that is the paradox, the mystery of literature - will be able to not merely bring to life, but also enrich this memory" -- Jorge Semprun Nouvel Observateur "The most remarkable, awake-all-night-to-finish read" -- Antonia Fraser Sunday Telegraph, Books of the Year .
