Praise for The Novel in the Viola: 'A deeply touching and blissfully romantic elegy for a lost world.' -- The Times Solomons's confident timing means that we sense what is about to happen only moments before it occurs, and are compelled to read on, not as one might expect for the frisson of a new event, but for the thrill of having our intuition confirmed. -- Stephanie Bishop, TLS For Mr Rosenblum's List: 'The descriptions of England - as friend, adversary and eventually home - are exquisite. A touching, surprising and satisfying read.' -- Sadie Jones, author of The Outcast 'Utterly charming and very funny' -- Paul Torday, author of Salmon Fishing in the Yemen 'An unususal, comedy-rich novel... a treat of a book'. -- Guardian 'a subtle and moving examination of the dilemma faced by immigrants to modern Britain'. -- Observer 'Prepare to be seriously charmed'. -- The Times 'An engaging read ... ripe for the screen' -- Guardian
