Book Overview: The tenth novel in Anthony Powell's brilliant twelve-novel sequence, A Dance to the Music of Time

Media Reviews
'I think it is now becoming clear that A Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses' -- Clive James
'I would rather read Mr Powell than any English novelist now writing' -- Kingsley Amis
'Unquestionably the finest English comic novel of the period' * Sunday Times *
'Intensely enjoyable - his dry, ironic descriptions are very funny indeed. A witty and shapely account of conventional English education' * Observer *
'I find Powell the sort of writer who exerts such a strong pull that turning anyone else's books, after his, calls for an effort of will - One of the most individual tones of voice in contemporary novel-writing and one of the most artful' -- Norman Shrapnel * Guardian *
