Review
An elegance and cunning reminiscent of Henry James. (New York Times Book Review)
Masterly. (Daily Telegraph)
Brilliant . . . Guilt and blame, cause and effect, the heady nature of love and madness; all these issues are raised and pondered . . . A book whose constant is surprise. (Scotland on Sunday)
Here, with great skill and remarkable economy, he seeks not to amuse but to move. But the lightness of the prose, and the delicacy of the irony belong to the Frayn we know, though here in the service of new depth, new probings. (Anthony Burgess Independent)
