Media Reviews
?Angela Carter would have loved this wondrous fever dream of a novel - an R-rated, Orientalist Arabian Nights. It?s a stunning performance? Kirkus Reviews ?Skilled and deliciously enjoyable fiction, in which the pleasures of sex and the glamour of times past are cleverly combined? Sunday Times ?A clever, vivid, funny, philosophical novel? Literary Review
