"This is such a good novel that I'm still shaking thinking about it... A novel not to be recommended to people but to be pressed on them, urgently" -- Nicholas Lezard Guardian "Truly magnificent...I implore you now, not to let it pass you by" Glasgow Herald "A novel written with sympathy and with restraint, and in a prose thatt is almost poetically direct and sure... If you do not read Time Will Darken It you will have missed something rare" San Francisco Chronicle "Here is a book that is as near perfection as it is possible for a novel to be" Boston Globe "He conjures depths of pain and regret in words of radiant simplicity" Observer
