Paul Harding Press Reviews
'I don't think I've read anything quite so strangely moving for a very long time. Such a relief to know there are still writers around who can write about real people, and who notice the world around them, and can turn that into exquisite art. Unbearably tense, but so rewarding as well ... every snatch of dialogue seemed pitch-perfect.' Gerard Woodward
'Harding writes with superb sensitivity about the mental and physical effects of a broken heart.' -- Kate Saunders, The Times
'A hypnotic portrayal of loss and resilience ... Harding is an extraordinary writer, for the intoxicating power of his prose, the range of his imagination, and above all for the redemptive humanity of his vision ... That Enon is a work of fiction that feels authentic as memoir makes it all the more astonishing.' Financial Times
'Harding's prose is perfect - simple, sharp and creative.' Observer
'An extraordinary follow-up to the author's Pulitzer Prize-winning debut, Tinkers...His prose is steeped in a visionary, transcendentalist tradition that echoes Blake, Rilke, Emerson, and Thoreau, and makes for a darkly intoxicating read.' New Yorker
