Review:
"The most gifted prose writer of his generation" (V. S. Pritchett)
"Each of Green's books stands apart from the others as a separate feat in itself" (Alan Pryce-Jones Observer)
"Green's novels are sufficiently unlikle any others, sufficiently assured in their perilous, luminous fullness, to warrant the epithet incomparable...they have become, with time, photographs of a vanished England...Green's human qualities - his love of work and laughter; his absolute empathy; his sense of splendour amid loss - make him a precious witness to any age" (John Updike)
