We haven’t had a new Ben Okri for some five years so this is something of a celebration.  Sadly it is not quite magical enough, not in the same league as his magnificent The Famished Road.  Charmingly written with an authentically dreamlike quality in short sections, it sweeps you along with a group of people making a TV documentary about a journey to Arcadia, Greece, while actually going from Paris to Switzerland.  Or are they?  Nothing is certain in this book.  There is a short, sharp section on meeting the devil which is outstanding and some beautiful descriptions of landscapes.  A fine book but perhaps a little light for such a great author. ~ Sarah Broadhurst

 

P.S. - The Age of Magic was awarded the Bad Sex in Fiction Award 2014 but we still love it!
