'It is a rare writer who can both rouse the mind and grip the heart, and all the while provide the sensuous delights of image and language...a compelling narrative in which the past haunts the present of characters so vividly real they become members of your intimate circle and erupt in your dreams... almost impossible to put down, and even harder not to re-read' Lisa Appignanesi, Independent
'Wonderful' Vik Groskop, Observer
'Subtle and complex' Tom Deveson, Sunday Times
'Beautifully thought through, deeply serious and enormously intelligent' Jane Smiley, Guardian
