The Hourglass
Liz Heron`s blog 
The Hourglass has just arrived. It’s a very well-produced book as far as I can see. Unbound have done you proud. I’ll be reading it soon.
Just finished reading it, a very interesting story but what is most important – very good writting, most pleasurable to read
Thank you, Martin.
I came here to congratulate you on your beautifully written novel, The Hourglass. Given the ambitious sweep of the narrative – three hundred years of love, opera, history, culture, art, immortality and even photography! – it’s a remarkable achievement. Imaginative, mysterious and vividly memorable!
Thank you, Paul. It’s great to hear from you. I’m glad you enjoyed the book.
