Simple and devastating Daniel Hahn Independent

"Simple and devastating" -- Daniel Hahn Independent "The Detour is a beautiful, oddly moving work of fiction, a quiet read that lingers long in the mind, like the ghosts that linger in our homes, and in the land around us" -- John Burnside Guardian "This is a novel full of hints and mysteries. [It] will almost certainly keep you routed to your chair until the denouement." -- Connie Bensley The Spectator "Quietly astonishing" -- Jonathan Gibbs Times Literary Supplement "Intelligently thoughtful" -- Eileen Battersby Irish Times
