Informazioni sull?autore

Dalla quarta di copertina
'Adam Thorpe's extraordinary third novel...'
In 1929, at the age of seven, Hugh has lived only at his parents' administrative outpost in Cameroon; comfortable in the mangrove's tangled foliage, he is reluctantly moved to England...His uncle's estate in Ulverton is as alien to Hugh as Africa was to his parents, with comparable dangers. When he returns there as an old man, Hugh finds the place still has its mysteries, with which his own reminiscences gradually become entangled as shocking events build to murder and a devestating revelation.' Ben Walters, Evening Standard
'Thorpe subtly takes on the two huge public and historical themes of colonialism and war alongside his affecting and sometimes unbearably poignant human story...again proving himself astute and inventive as well as a skilled writer.' Nicholas Wroe, Guardian
'Pieces of Light has his richness of ideas, with a memorable vision of Englishness at its centre.' Philip Hensher, Mail On Sunday
'A work of quite extraordinary richness and subtlety...A thriller of the first order. It is also finely metaphysical work...Pieces of Light will be recognised for the masterpiece it is.' John Burnside, Scotsman
'Ghost story, thriller, travelogue, epistolary episodes of pathos, Thorpe, unfazed, commands them all. Pieces of Light is as fine a book as I've read this year and Thorpe's best yet.' Tom Adair, Scotland on Sunday
