'Brilliant . . . beautiful and strange.' Today Programme

'Impressive.' Sunday Telegraph

'A book that is easy, and pleasurable, to read. Eunoia is characterised not by obvious sweat and strain, but by playfulness, fluidity and self-conscious wit.' Irish Times

Eunoia, which means 'beautiful thinking', is the shortest English word to contain all five vowels. This book also contains them all, except that each one appears by itself in its own chapter. A unique personality for each vowel soon emerges: A is courtly, E is elegiac, I is lyrical, O is jocular, U is obscene. A triumphant feat, seven years in the making, Eunoia is as playful as it is awe-inspiring.

'No mere Christmas-stocking filler for Countdown fans. Rather, it's an ingenious little novel . . . playful and irreverent . . . charming.' Metro

'Amazing . . . impressive . . . It's beautiful, it's funny and it's moving.' Globe and Mail

'Linguistically daring and delightfully inventive.' Scotland on Sunday
