Reviews for All the Days And Nights

A Book of the Year 2014: THE OBSERVER and Netgalley Longlisted for the Folio Prize 2015 Shortlisted for the Green Carnation Prize 2014 ‘Intense, ... Read moreelegant, beautiful writing.’ The Times ‘Flashes of brilliance.’ Independent ‘Slender, stylish and moving.’ Observer ‘Beautifully written, elegiac in tone, it’s also surprisingly pacy, as gripping as any thriller … It’s a short novel, which is just as well, as it’s impossible to put down.’ John Harding, Daily Mail ‘A short, lyrical and densely written exploration of the relationship between artist and muse.’ Financial Times ‘Govınden is the kind of gentle modernist that contemporary Brıtish fiction needs; entertaining, intellectual, emotional, poetıc, fabulous.’ Deborah Levy ‘All the Days and Nights is short but dense with theme and subtle in its depiction of the central characters and their complex relationship.’ We Love This Book ‘A terrific idea.’ BBC Frontrow 'For our money the Man Booker Prize should have gone to Niven Govinden's fourth novel, All The Days and Nights' NetGalley ‘A potent exploration of an artist and her muses.’ Jeff Jackson 'Singular, astonishing and deeply emotive, All the Days and Nights is a flawlessly written work of insight and understanding.
