Rezensionen
'Wise, funny, touching, wide-ranging, deep-delving; whip-smart dialogue and graceful, paced sentences, thousands upon thousands of them. Written by a novelist with the eye of a poet, and a poet with the narrative powers of a novelist, this is a book that needed to be written, that tells true things, and is entirely its own being' Robert Macfarlane, author of Underland

'A novel like none other: Janice Pariat brings vividly to life a conception of plants as beings endowed with a powerful inner vitality' Amitav Ghosh, author of The Glass Palace

'Pariat traverses the inherent dignity of life in all its forms and the conflict between doing and being that is alive in all of us. Timely and timeless - a masterpiece and an absolute thrill to read' Avni Doshi, Booker-shortlisted author of Burnt Dugar

'A novel of great charm, curiosity and adventure - a passionate call for shaking up the certainties of science and history so as to heed the intuitions and instincts that perhaps only fiction can give voice to' Anjum Hasan, author of A Day in the Life

'Everything the Light Touches weaves the timelessness of nature and the urgency of human emotions into an elegiac tale that is evocative, intelligent and deeply thought-provoking. A seminal work by a novelist and a poet at the height of her powers' Pranay Lal, author of Indica: A Deep Natural History of the Indian Subcontinent

'As the reader journeys through this atmospheric and accomplished novel, they discover that the natural world around us is loud enough for those willing to listen, and Pariat has found the language for it' The Guardian

'A multi-generational epic' Cosmopolitan

'Pariat's sonorous lyricism is beautiful' The Daily Mail

'A marvel of a novel - poignant and poetic' Woman & Home

'Lyrical and immersive' Woman's Weekly

'Impressive' Katherine Mezzacappa
