Review:
Full of bite and colour - told with wit and grace. (New York Times)
A book which stirs the imagination and remains vividly in the mind. He builds up a picture of what was surely one of the greatest stories of suffering and exploitation in the entire nineteenth century. Few readers will not find the story compulsive. (The Times Literary Supplement)
This momentous movement, so heroic in retrospect, so shabby at the time, has now found its perfect chronicler. Terry Coleman is that rare phenomenon, an absolutely original writer. (Jan Morris The Times)
