Human Love: A Novel
'A powerful meditation on the price of ideology and love ... The novel, remorseless in its depiction of man's inhumanity, is poetically alive to the redeeming power of love.' -- Eithne Farry, Daily Mail 20080530  'A beautiful, haunting fugue that carries the weight of decades of suffering on a continent that the West prefers to romanticise or ignore ... [Makine's] reputation as one of the significant novelists of our age is only strengthened by this book.' -- Stephanie Merritt, Observer 20080621  'Andrei Makine has exceptional gifts for getting to the heart of true feeling ... HUMAN LOVE is a haunting, often very tender story written in a kind of meditative fury ... one of the best novels aboutAfrica in a long time' -- Christopher Hope, Guardian 20080621  'All his books are wonderful ... But HUMAN LOVE, full of feeling, wisdom and tenderness amidst horror, is one of his best. If you ever despair of modern literature, read Makine.' -- Allan Massie, Scotsman 20080621--This text refers to an alternateHardcoveredition.
