"Eine Art Vermächtnis", der erste Band einer Trilogie, ist "eine einfühlsame Elegie auf die Freundschaft" wie "The Guardian" schreibt. Zugleich ein spannendes, intelligentes Buch mit originellen Gedanken über Freundschaft, Liebe und Tod, das sprachlich leider allzu sehr die akademische Herkunft seines Autors verrät.
