A significant novel, genuinely one of the year's best. Emotionally wrenching yet intellectually rigorous, idea-driven but with indelible characters and true suspense.-- "New York"
At least as heartbreaking as it is hilarious.-- "Washington Post"
It's the sort of book that makes life bearable after all.-- "Miami Herald"
Krauss writers like an angel.-- "Guardian"
Moving and virtuosic.-- "San Francisco Chronicle"
One of the most passionate vindications of the written word in recent fiction. It takes one's breath away.-- "Spectator"
Vertiginously exciting.-- "New York Times"
It restores your faith in fiction. It restores all sorts of faith.--Ali Smith
