THE FOURTH FREDERICA POTTER NOVEL

A Whistling Woman Reviews

Full of new energy and a sense of new directions... The plot has a driving ferocity, the huge and extraordinary cast marshaled with exceptional dexterity * Spectator *
In this concluding installment [of her quartet of novels], Byatt blends her own excitement at 'intellectual curiosity of any kind' with a lucid narrative and gripping plot... I suspect her fans will be hoping for a fifth * Independent *
An intellectual adventure full of energy and vitality [with] solid delights, keen and demanding pleasure * Scotsman *
Rich in metaphor and glancing allusion... Predominantly a novel of ideas. It makes a fine conclusion to the quartet * The Economist *
Brilliant and densely written...it's an absorbing read * Daily Mail *
