'When Tom Holt's on form, the world seems a much cheerier place' - SFX

'...both intimate and ambitious - not only human, but also divine' - DAILY TELEGRAPH

Something is about to go wrong. Very wrong. What do you expect if the Supreme Being decides to get away from it all for a few days, leaving his naturally inquisitive son to look after the cosmic balance of things?

A minor hiccup with a human soul and a welding machine soon leads to a violent belch, and before you know it the human condition - not to mention the lemming condition - is tumbling down the slippery slope to chaos.

A dazzling comic fantasy novel from one of Britain's sharpest, funniest writers.

Reviews
Excellent, sexy novel in which Abraham, Sarah and the voice of God perform a subversive, jealousy-laden dance round one another. It sounds unlikely, but Diski can spin gold from the most unpromising settings and characters, and this bookk delves into all kinds of byways - infertility, obedience, autonomy in a relationship - with wit and intelligence. * MARIE CLAIRE *
a hugely engaging and entertaining book * SUNDAY EXPRESS *
both intimate and ambitious - not only human, but also divine * DAILY TELEGRAPH *
This is Jenny Diski's best novel yet. * LITERARY REVIEW *
