"One of the best books of the year. Poetic, heartbreaking, surprising. Matilda is a young girl in Bougainville, a tropical island where the horror of civil war lurks. Mr Watts, the only white person, is the self- appointed teacher of the tiny school where the only textbook is Dickens' Great Expectations. An extraordinary book" - Isabel Allende

"Rarely can any novel have combined charm, horror and uplift in quite such superabundance" - Independent
