Anne Moore (USA: MI) (2008/03/08):
I love this book. I'm giving away an extra copy (and keeping one). The prose is compelling, and the plot engrossing.Chapter one starts: 'It is said--and it is true--that just before we are born, a cavern angel holds his finger to our mouths and whispers, "Hush! Don't tell what you know." 'This is why we have a cleft on our upper lips and remember nothing of where we came from. 'Toward the end of the last century--in 1978, to be precise--a smooth-lipped boy appeared in the world.'
