“Here is a fine debut novel, he has gone on to write plenty more but this as a first novel is remarkable.
If all publishers had the balls to take on something new and different the literary world would be a far better place.
Mitchell has created a host of characters all of which show a terrific skill of writing, not all of it comes together or is meant too.

“Here’s a first for me, a Dutch translation.
Compared by the broadsheet literary review critics with some gusto with Roth and Franzen, this novel is a multi layered saga of a dysfunctional family.
Don’t take it to seriously and enjoy going with the flow. Some bizarre moment which made me chuckle.
Our book group liked it enough to give it 6/10
