The most compelling novel I've read in years; a love story, a thriller, and a profound meditation on language and identity. Peter Florence, Guardian Hay Festival Wry, engaging and perceptive... a beautifully-rendered story of multiple forms of... excavation - spiritual, linguistic, filmic and sexual. Owen Sheers
