Omschrijving
An impressive debut from an exciting new Scottish voice – a stunning novel about history, identity and redemption. A no. 2 best-seller in Scotland.
'Utterly compelling.' The Times
'A remarkable book.' Observer
'Robertson takes not just history but the notion of history; not just the question of what truth is but the act of questioning itself and breathes and extraordinary life into them…In this complex, superbly claustrophobic novel where everything is meticulously researched, and just as importantly, meticulously imagined, he urges us to see ourselves anew.' Scotland on Sunday
'A revelatory post card from clenched, pre-millennial Scotland, packed with incisive social comments and cracking set pieces. ‘The Fanatic’ is a rattling good read.' Independent on Sunday
