William has been a journalist for over 20 years and has worked for a number of the nationals, including The Sun, The Express, The Mail and The Wall Street Journal.
This is a charming and uplifting book.
*Piers Morgan*
Charming, moving, uplifting. Why can't all love stories be like
this?
*Tunku Varadarajan, The Wall Street Journal*
Elegantly structured, tinglingly evocative of the passion and
brutality of first love - a wonderful read.
*Louise Candlish*
What a read! Every schoolboy’s dream comes true in this
deftly-written treatment of illicit romance. A triumph
*Alexander McCall Smith*
The Well-Tempered Clavier is a beautiful book, managing to use a
simple narrative voice without consequently bland style - honesty,
beauty, and passion pervade the novel but so do humour,
youthfulness and energy.
*Stuck in a Book*
The Well-Tempered Clavier is an outstanding debut novel. A
wonderful story of first love. Few male authors can write about
romance in a way which appeals to women - but Coles has managed it
quite brilliantly.
*Sunday Express*
My own piano teacher was called Mr Bagston and frankly I don't
think any power on earth could have persuaded us to create a scene
of the kind Coles so movingly describes!
*Boris Johnson*
Passionate and excruciatingly compelling
*Curledup*
The writing is such that regardless of how much appeal the setting
of Eton should have for all the Anglophiles out there, the delicate
and deliberate prose will be what ensures the devotion of the
reader until the very last page
*Alcott and Earhart*
a brilliantly plotted and paced evocation of an affair between a
17-year-old schoolboy and his 23-year-old piano teacher in Eton in
the spring of 1982, the Falklands war rumbling in the
background.
*The Oldie*
It encompasses all the emotions of being in love, but also of lust,
envy, and worries for the future; this is certainly one to read
again.
*Student Direct*
