Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

One of the hopes of British novel-writing . . . A writer of genius (John Betjeman)

The missing writer of the Forties . . . Balchin's professional skill gives a meaning to brilliance which the word doesn't usually possess (Clive James NEW REVIEW)

[An] inexplicably neglected author (THE TIMES)

Balchin writes about timeless things, the places in the heart (Ruth Rendell SUNDAY TELEGRAPH)

A little masterpiece like Nigel Balchin's The Small Back Room speaks to our own time, but with so much literary experience behind it (Shirley Hazzard)

Balchin has been absurdly overlooked for too long (Julian Fellowes)

I'd place him up there with Graham Greene (Philippa Gregory)

A remarkable storyteller (DAILY MAIL)

A brilliant novelist . . . A writer of real skill (NEW STATESMAN)

He tells a story gloriously (DAILY TELEGRAPH)

Reseña del editor:

A true classic of war literature
Equally famous as a film
¿His theme is of intense and irresistible interest¿ ¿ New Statesman
Filled with underlying tension, which mounts to an almost unbearably dramatic climax
