Rezension zu „Light Falling on Bamboo “
"'Written in a magnificent prose style that matches the art it describes' (Bernadine Evaristo, The Guardian) 'Like Cazabon, we fall in love numerous times with this complicated world, full of prejudice and social injustice. Scott, born on a sugar estate, knows this society intimately and paints this world with skill and grace.' (Monique Roffey, Independent) 'A beautiful subtle and sensitive novel' (David Evans, FT)"
