A poignant love story set in the wake of the Second World War, now in paperback
Alex Christofi was born in Dorset and read English at Oxford University. As well as working as an editor, he writes occasional essays and reviews. His first novel Glass, also published by Serpent's Tail, was longlisted for the Desmond Elliott Prize and won the Betty Trask Prize.
A blazing novel about identity, love, kindness, loss and survival
in an uncertain world. Let Us Be True will stay with me for a long
time
*Rachel Joyce*
Praise for Glass:
'Charming and funny ... there's enough here to show you the author
has plenty more to offer and that, like his hero, he definitely has
his heart in the right place.
*Daily Mail*
Christofi's writing really does gleam with wit, inventiveness and
an offbeat charm
*The Times*
[An] impressive, tightly paced coming-of-age story ... a
multi-layered story that follows one man's refracted path through
life's prism
*Financial Times*
