'Haunting. Geppetto's voice, full of wistful overemphases and
bewildered revelation, is absorbing as he takes in the oddity of
his situation. And the book, sentence by sentence, offers much in
which to luxuriate.' - Sunday Times 'Profound and delightful. It is
a strange and tender parable of two maddening obsessions; parenting
and art-making' - Max Porter 'Strange, moving and musical, it's a
delight' - A. L. Kennedy I am writing this account, in another
man's book, by candlelight, inside the belly of a fish. I have been
eaten. I have been eaten, yet I am living still. From the acclaimed
author of Little comes this beautiful and haunting imagining of the
years Geppetto spends within the belly of a sea beast. Drawing upon
the Pinocchio story while creating something entirely his own,
Carey tells an unforgettable tale of fatherly love and loss, pride
and regret, and of the sustaining power of art and imagination.
