Rezensionen

'Muscular and lyrical'- The Telegraph. 5 starred review 'It raises vital issues about our relationship with the natural world, this is above all an immersive and compelling story. Great characters ... superb lyrical writing.' The Literary Sofa 'Green Lion is a novel that bridges the gap between the past and present so that there are no loose ends, only the hope that in the future humanity will do a better job of conserving what is not yet lost.' Paul Dawson 'Beautifully written, with prose that is mixed with poetry and power, Green Lion has sent me off looking for more work by Henrietta Rose-Innes' Paul McVeigh, author of The Good Son 'Rose-Innes' animals have a liquid quality, slipping between boundaries, often unseen but felt or heard, frequently doing the unexpected.'
