Reviews

One of the most profoundly intelligent, introspective novels of recent years, questioning the perceptions of author, narrator, reader and critic.
The consummately achieved and entrancing creation of a master of language: in the fullest sense a work of art.
Athena is a love letter to Morrow’s passions, to love, to art and to the paintings he examines: works on classical themes, in which a moment’s obsession, lust, loss and magic are preserved for ever.
