Recenzii
The
stories
have
a
strong
sense
of
the
reality
of
rural
life
and
its
underbelly,
the
curious
dynamics
of
families,
and
analmost
mystical
feel
for
mortality.
These
are
unforced
and
spacious
pieces,
totally
sure-footed
in
their
telling
and
as
good
as
any
modern
fiction
you
will
read
this
year
At the heart of his collection liesChemistry, a compelling portrait of family and migration
He heads into the contemporary world and the moments that can darken or illuminate a life . These stories . are all given the same wise consideration, and described with an unerring, kindly exactitude
Lyrical and gentle, with a theme of familial interplay
PRAISE FOR TIM PEARS:Goodness, Tim Pears writes beautifully . the descriptions of rural life, executed with painterly exactness, are a constant delight. The prose really sings
This is it. This is the real thing. This is whatever I mean by the work of a born writer . Comic and wry and elegiac and shrewd and thoughtful all at once. Please read it
His prose is luminous, drawing in the reader . Pears' fiction has been likened to Thomas Hardy's, and the comparison is apposite ... Powerful, vivid and humane
Tim Pears deserves a place among the best rural writers . An exemplary historical novelist with a Romantic eye for nature ... This heady walk through the forgotten lanes of England thrums with life
A gifted storyteller, steeped in country lore and the beauty of ordinary events. Like Thomas Hardy whose kindred spirit quietly animates these pages, he is concerned with the dignity of work, the force of destiny and the consequences of human passion
Reminiscent of Faulkner and García Márquez, the writing retains a very English scale . Sensitive, heart-warming and hallucinatory
The writing is so genuine. Nothing is posturing or romanticised. The characters really touched me. There's so much talent here
It is most beautifully written, hypnotic as Proust, very funny and full of love that doesn't cloy . It is a dreamy, easy, wonderful read
Makes it quite possible to believe in magic
Highly atmospheric . It had an intoxicating, magical quality which completely beguiled me
