Konstantin

Konstantin is that rare creature, the practical dreamer, a hero at the dawn of modernity. Beautifully written . . . a real achievement

Andrew Miller, author of 'Pure'

Mesmerizing intensity . . .daring . . . Konstantin fascinatingly brings us an imagined portrait of a boy turning into a man that refuses to give us any simple solutions

TLS

Enchanting, wonderfully eloquent. A very alluring read

Time Out

A charming novel, sensitively told

Prospect

A magnificent piece of writing ... punctuated with moments of beauty and of fascination

Polari Magazine

Bullough succeeds in translating the science of lunar travel into concrete, apposite and lyrical imagery...Here is a writer with a sculptor's sensibility

New Welsh Review

A convincing account, lyrical yet exact, of the making of a scientist. Konstantin Tsiolkovsky may not be a household name, but the author has set him squarely before us as a living, thinking, ingenious human being

John Banville

Wonderful. Historical fiction that wears history lightly

Observer

Well-written . . . moving and expressive
