Review
"Large, complex, ambitious, humming with energy and ideas... A remarkable achievement" -- Iris Murdoch "Comic, well plotted, immensely touching... Gaudy excitement and splendour" The Times "One to be reckoned with. It cannot be glibly praised or readily dismissed; it is, massively, there, and demands serious consideration" Financial Times "An ambitious novel [whose] narrative everywhere displays knowledge and intelligence" Times Literary Supplement
