PRAISE FOR AS MEAT LOVES SALT
"Absorbing and historically meticulous . . . a fat, juicy masterpiece."--The Economist

"A story tense with anguish, intimacy and shame . . . it imaginatively re-creates the mentality of a society racked by war and intoxicated by radical new ideas of freedom and chance. . . . This is an intriguing and disturbing first novel which lingers in the mind."--The Times Literary Supplement
