A young writer, recently arrived from Ireland to make his mark, smokes one last cigarette with his lover before the city they know is torn apart.

A Country Road, A Tree Bewertungen

"Skilful . . . daring . . . an extraordinary story" * The Guardian *
"[It is] the unexpected Beckett that is on show here. Baker pays tribute to a man who joined the French Resistance, narrowly escaped the Gestapo, fled south on foot and went into hiding, and was eventually awarded the Croix de Guerre" * The Times *
"A fascinating fictional account of Samuel Beckett's wartime years" * IAN RANKIN *
"Beautifully written, empathetic and unflinching, it is very, very good" * Daily Mail *
"vivid and well-wrought" * Times Literary Supplement *
"Insightful . . . beautifully paced . . . authentic" * The Irish Times *
"In this worthy successor to Longbourn, she [Baker] skillfully captures Beckett's world, the rhythms of his bare-bones prose, and the edginess of his point of view." * Publishers Weekly *
"Taking its title from Beckett's most famous play, Waiting for Godot, Baker's historical drama deftly explores the psyche of one of the greatest writers of the Twentieth Century." * Booklist *
"Perfectly captures the deprivation, despair and constant creeping fear of an occupied people." * Red Magazine Must-Read of the Month *
"This exquisitely crafted novel re-creates the World War II peregrinations of Samuel Beckett and the volatile Frenchwoman who became his life's companion" * Oprah Magazine *
