Review

Hard, almost metallic, glittering, blinding by the reflections of its hard surface, utterly free of sentimentality- a strange and original book, it will convince you of its honesty and veracity — Arnold Bennett

A most beautiful, moving and humane book — Vita Sackville-West

A novel of great power. ― TLS
