Though the boy has no memory of her, Sim n is certain he will recognise her at first sight. ‘But after we find her, ‘ David asks, ‘what are we here for?’The Childhood of Jesus is a profound, beautiful and continually surprising novel from a very great writer.’Powerful and poetic… This book will continue to act, silently and unexpectedly, on the reader’s imagination’ Financial Times
