Rezension zu „Come to the Edge “
'A terrific book-group choice ... Playful, inventive and very much of its time' Cressida Connolly, Spectator. 'An absolute knock-out - had me laughing again and again and then feeling very moved at the end. Such a stylish performance: an iron fist in a velvet glove' Chris Cleave. 'Hugely - gigantically - enjoyable ... One of the most entertaining, fluent and readable novelists around' Observer. 'Laugh? I nearly exploded reading Kavenna's knock-out satire on alternative lifestyle ... This book is just the job for any city slicker craving the good life' Daily Mail. 'Sharp, neat, well written and darkly comic' Seven magazine (Sunday Telegraph). 'Dark and very funny satire on second-home owners' Observer.
