The Lightman System

"Time is both cruel and kind, chance is more cruel than kind, and trying to defeat both is hard.

The Lightman System is a supreme example of how fiction can tell this story."

- Stephen Fry

"A lyrical and upsettingly accurate work ... the beauty of the writing provides its own redemption."

- Adam Thorpe

"The story uncovers the subtle workings of a family dynamic (the things withheld, the things inferred, the psychological and emotional coding) and even when events take a terrifying turn, the distinctive blend of restraint, vividness, humour and compassion make this a compellingly enjoyable read. I was moved to tears by the ending.

 

The Lightman System is a deeply involving, wise, wonderfully-written book."

- Amelia Bullmore
