[To the Land of Long Lost Friends] touch[es] on both the minutiae
of life and discussions of greater questions . . . Every page
contains a gem of wit and insight, and there are also beautiful
descriptions of the landscape, so much so that you can almost feel
the throbbing heat of the day and the coolness of night. The gentle
pace of the narrative gives the characters - and readers - time for
reflection, and to dig deeper into wider questions of love,
compassion and respect. The novel doesn't shy away from the most
difficult subjects either. A moving passage about the life of a
young orphan is likely to prompt tears in all but the hardest of
hearts
