PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Laurent Binet lives and works in France. His first novel, HHhH, was an international bestseller which won the prestigious Prix Goncourt du premier roman, among other prizes.
Establishes Laurent Binet as the clear heir to the late Umberto Eco, writing novels that are both brilliant and playful, dense with ideas while never losing sight of their need to entertain... one of the funniest, most riotously inventive and enjoyable novels you'll read this year -- Alex Preston * Observer * A playful conspiracy thriller. * Guardian, 2017 Books of the Year * Lively, earthy, experimental, ambitious, clever and endlessly entertaining... The recondite world of literary and linguistic theory collides delightfully with the pulsating one of desperate car chases, Bulgarian heavies brandishing poisoned umbrellas, and international espionage... Smart, witty, direct, cool -- Hal Jensen * The Times Literary Supplement * Disgustingly talented... It is a hugely entertaining novel, taking delight in its own twists and turns -- Nicholas Lezard * Spectator * Incredibly timely ... very entertaining, like a dirty Midnight in Paris for the po-mo set -- Lauren Elkin * Guardian *
