Spanning three continents and two generations, After Battersea Park is a touching portrait of identical twin brothers separated in early childhood. Only two people know their whole story: their mother, and a part-native Hawaiian bartender, Noah Lopez, who is their father and the man responsible for their reunion.
“Written in dreamlike prose . . . offbeat, low-key, [a] surprisingly resonant novel.”—Booklist
“Bennett is a skilful and modest storyteller. After Battersea Park is remarkably sophisticated.”—Hamilton Spectator
“There is a tenderness here, and a respect for the characters.”
—Quill & Quire
“One of those literary finds that makes a book critic sit up and take notice…he’s a full-blown talent.”—January magazine
