Review:
"Let me alert everyone to the best-kept secret in modern British literature. If you love the novel; if you are interested in books that are humane and wise, not slick and cynical; then treat yourself this year to some Robin Jenkins" (Andrew Marr)
"Like all great masters, his skill is lightly worn, his sentences singing with what he does not say" (The Times)
"A masterpiece of concision and terrible pathos" (Isobel Murray)
"Few novels in our heritage have the bell-like harmonies of this book . . . it has a strange haunting poetic quality, conjuring from a few props a fable of eternal significance" (Iain Crichton Smith)
