Well versed in the art of getting merry​
​
‘The novel seesaws between comedy and calamity, present and past. It pokes fun at pretension but also gives an insight into why a Catholic poet such as Hopkins deserves his claim to greatness. The result is a novel enjoyable on every level’

‘A pleasurable literary thriller... Edge wears his Hopkins learning lightly, sprinkling the book with snippets while avoiding didacticism or handholding... it’s a merry page-turner’
