The Times,Unseen Histories and The Scotsman.
'Fascinating ... a revelatory meditation on humanity'
'De Tores’s Selkirk is an adorably reprobate antihero whose company never palls'
'... a poignant, sophisticated portrait of a man far more modern and interesting'
'De Tores builds Selkirk’s world with detail and patience – it’s an impressive imaginative feat.'
'... gripping fiction. Written like a journal, the action is episodic and narrated in a sometimes playful,
sometimes anguished, sometimes poetic voice.'
'[A] rich historical novel'.
CAST AWAY, alongside Jennifer Saint’s timeless THIS IMMORTAL HEART, also features in Cambridge Edition’s.
