“It is a long time since I last came across a writer with such a deep, poetic sense of nature and the ability to convey it”
His descriptive prose is lavish, powerfully evoking time and place … Translator Silvester Mazzarella’s triumph is to allow the poetry and imagery to flourish without letting it grow wild and tangled - IndependentFois combines a remarkable number of different ways of seeing the world, different forms of storytelling, different kinds of language and different narrative voices … Memory of the Abyss is by turns epic, fable, love story and thriller - ObserverAbout The Author
