'A beautiful and engrossing work.'
*The Independent on Sunday*
'Richly accomplished ... Dazzling.'
*The Sunday Times*
'Excellent ... Meticulously researched and vividly imagined, both
gripping and thoughtful.'
*The Sunday Telegraph*
'From the [start] we know ourselves to be in the hands of a major
novelist ... A compelling narrative, beautifully controlled ...
This novel is Barnes at his best.'
*The Times*
'As ever, Barnes serves up a master class in character observation,
lavishing attention on the minutiae of personality, the subtle and
conflicting impulses that drive men and women. Barnes seems
equipped to write with humour and elegance about anything he turns
his attention to.'
*The Financial Times*
