Editorial Reviews
Review
"Like sipping slowly at a glass of iced tea on a warm day, The Heaven of Mercury is a real treat to be savoured" The Bookseller; "The Heaven of Mercury hit me with a force like that of Fiannery O'Connor. This novel is graceful, patient, insightful and hilarious... The best novel of the year" USA Today; "This is a novel in which both the marvellous and the commonplace co-exist in a condition of such intimate ease that they can hardly be separated. Watson's lyrical evocations of the visionary and the bizarre mesh seamlessly with his descriptions of small town life" Guardian"
