Glitteringly entertaining* The Times *
A hugely readable, beautifully written, thoughtful book. * Marie Claire *
A brilliant and original book ... There can be nothing derivative about a novelist with Justin Cartwright's fresh accuracy of perception, which provides constant small shocks of recognition ... funny as well as bleak, and full of humanity. This is a novel that tackles all the big state-of-the modern-world themes; it is also intensely readable * Sunday Telegraph *
