Dal risvolto di copertina interno
Advance praise for Uncle Rudolf:
"An exceptionally tender and vivid account of a little boy's expulsion from his own country and language. Tremendous."--Beryl Bainbridge, author of Master Georgie and Birthday Boys
"I read it in one sitting and think it echoing and beautiful; so graciously pitched, perfectly poised, balanced on its hair-breadth between grief and delight. It moved me terribly. I loved it." --Ali Smith, author of Hotel World and Free Love
"Andrew himself is an appealing narrator: honest, troubled, perceptive. It is the clarity of his vision that gives the novel its crisp and satisfying accuracy, and makes it one of Paul Bailey's best books." --Penelope Lively, author of The Photograph
Praise for Paul Bailey's previous book, Kitty & Virgil:
"Crackles with repartee and literary allusion...Compelling. "
--The Washington Post Book World
"Luminous... told with empathy, elegance, and unfailing delight in language."--Publishers Weekly
