Media Reviews
Engrossing-- a brilliant X-ray of obsession. - New York Times Book Review
Brilliant.... In a category of its own. - The Globe and Mail
Altered States -- is among [Brookner's] best. Its spare, gripping narrative and sombre, yet illuminating look at the power of passion is extraordinary. - The London Free Press
Brookner's vision of human behaviour is scrupulously honest, without ever being cruel-- a gem of revelation. - Chicago Tribune
