At the Heart of Hiruharama

This is a terrific first novel. Assured, thoughtful, and a really compelling read! Though the road to the heart of Hiruharama is sign-posted by separation and loss, the way forward is illuminated, made dazzling at times, by three important things: strange interventions from the unseen world...the blind courage of a good sense of humour... and the strong wish to go further in life than tragedy says you can...
