Review:
"Primarily a novel about the moral consequences of religious belief, but it is almost as importantly a novel about colonialism" (Independent)
"The most ingenious, inventive and exciting of our novelists, rich in exactly etched and moving portraits of real human beings" (V. S. Pritchett The Times)
"Here is this man who can represent ordinary life, ordinary troubles, and make them exciting to read about" (Shirley Hazzard Guardian)
