Description: "[Crace] plumbs the psychological depths of his characters and moves seamlessly from interior fears and doubts to sudden often violent actions in such a graceful and mordantly lyrical manner that the spell he casts is never broken . . . . Mesmerizing . . . . Crace's prose gets under your skin as it quietly assaults conventional expectations and the sudden possibilities that human consciousness and impulse can both contrive and exploit. In his all-too-human hero on the horn, he captures the human condition in all its sinuous, improvisational and sensual essence." - The Providence Journal "A psychological novel of ideas . . .. Excellent." - The Times " All That Follows is written in crisp, efficent prose and Crace's treatment of Leonard is sympathetic and warm, particularly when it comes to his beloved instrument . . . . Crace's women are characteristically strong and vibrant . . . . It is as accomplished as his previous nine novels and is a testament to his craft and versatility." - The Sydney Morning Herald "The writing is excellent, and the story moves along with a seductive force. Another fine work from [Crace]." - Library Journal "Crace sensitively depicts a middle-aged man coming to terms with the choices he has made, missed opportunities and all." -Booklist
