Lost Paradise

"Beautiful, dreamlike and oddly beguiling" The Times "A charming, sinuous, playful novel...global, universal, in its scope and feeling" -- David Robson Sunday Telegraph "Nooteboom writes beautifully. His prose is clean and precise without feeling sparse, and he manages to combine clarity with intense lyricism" -- Rebecca Abrahams Guardian "A plot as finely tuned as a concert piano...this is a novel which finally soars" Glasgow Herald "Nooteboom has shown himself a master of ironic wisdom, but also of elated, elegiac feeling" -- Ben Rogers Independent on Sunday
