Beard is a talented writer, crafting many scenes with luminous precision

Damascus recounts a day in the life of young lovers Spencer and Hazel, 1 November 1993. It's the day they finally meet again after years communicating only by phone. It's also the day that they appear, at various points throughout the book, to be aged 10, 13, 18 or 21 or indeed, in the opening chapter, zero. It may spoil the novel to give away its ending

The climactic showdown is not only an apt marriage of the novel's form and content-but also gently comic, the characteristic tone of this undertaking. Ludic in a peculiarly British manner-An assured achievement

'Like Nick Hornby and Jonathan Coe, beard comically unhinges style, character and point of view to tell us that indeed we are in the chaos of the contemporary world'

Heyer’s characterisation and dialogue are an abiding delight to me.

Sparkling

Stylish, romantic, sharp and witty. Her sense of period is superb, her heroines are enterprising and her heroes dashing. I owe her many happy hours.

Georgette Heyer is second to none
