It is such a wonderful book. It made me stretch my hand to my lover. It made me want to show my children the footprints, scars and stones under our feet. It made me want to sit down to look at the sea... It made me deeply grateful that I am alive.
Max Porter (Praise for Time Song)
Both Wordsworthian and Woolfian ... This book is a wonder.
Adam Nicolson (Praise for Time Song)
Breathtaking... [a] splendidly rich book... I admire the intelligence, the appetite for discovery and the shining imagination that have gone into it.
Gillian Tindall (Praise for Time Song)
This book gripped me by its clairvoyant and poetic conversation with the past and Julia Blackburn's extraordinary sympathy and perspicacity in finding in the lightest and smallest traces the story of our human species
Antony Gormley (Praise for Time Song)
Poetic and fascinating
Olivia Laing (Praise for Time Song)
