'This novel is your next must-read. Set in and around the iconic building in the East Village from which the book takes its title, it's a captivating, multi-stranded New York epic about the AIDS crisis. Beginning in the 1980s and spanning four decades, Christodora follows the lives of the victims and heroes of the darkest of these years . . . An engrossing and inspiring story of loss, love and hope, set against a backdrop of art, activism and addiction.' Observer
'New York's East Village is the setting for this brilliantly kaleidoscopic story about the city's haves and have-nots, both brought together and torn apart by an epidemic . . . This sprawling, seething, sumptuous tale of the city's haves and have-nots . . . There have been several whopping New York novels in the last couple of years, but none of them possesses Christodora's generosity, its weathered and unflinching faith in what people can achieve.' Olivia Laing, Guardian
'[A] thrillingly accomplished novel . . . [Its] varied minds and voices are realized so convincingly that Christodora sometimes seems the product of spirit possession. And it is joyous despite its subject matter.' New York Times
'Outstanding . . . Breathtaking . . . Christodora is the most exciting New York novel since Hanya Yanagihara's A Little Life.' Attitude
'Reminiscent of [Jay] McInerney at his peak, concerning itself with young Manhattanites and their relationships with sex, drugs, psychologists, art and real estate . . . There are sections that are hard to read as they are so filled with anguish . . . There is no denying the quality of the writing and the deep integrity of this novel.' John Boyne, Irish Times
