The Hiding Game (Hardback)

'The Hiding Game is a brilliant, fascinating novel - a gripping story, skilfully told. I defy anyone not to be possessed by the all-consuming universe it creates.' - Sara Baume, author of Spill Simmer Falter Wither

'The Hiding Game is a searing and profoundly moving exploration of the things we conceal from others and all that we hide from ourselves. Atmospheric and compelling . . . A haunting read.' - Caroline Lea, author of The Glass Woman

'A fantastic novel, so beautiful and sad. Naomi Wood's instinct for the rhythm and details of longing is sublime and the way she weaves together the personal and national is mesmerising . . . Immersive,
elegant and affecting, Wood's prose, as always, delights the senses.' - Megan Bradbury, author of Everyone is Watching

'A love story set in the Bauhaus art school during Germany's turbulent 1920s? Be still, my pounding heart!' - Sarra Manning, Red

'The author of Mrs Hemingway triumphs with another exploration of the costs of creativity, this time art and the meticulously researched Bauhaus era from its claustrophobic bubble to the hostile world beyond. I was seduced and fascinated by the hedonism, the creative and romantic rivalries and conflicted loyalties in this tangle of flawed and beautiful people.' - Isobel Costello

'Wood is a deft writer who deserves to be better known. Her debut, The Godless Boys, was a compelling alternative history of England in 1986; her second novel, Mrs Hemingway, reimagined the lives of the American author's four wives. For her third, she alights on new territory, spinning a suspenseful story of obsession against the tense political backdrop of Germany's Bauhaus art school.' - Francesca Angelini, Sunday Times
