Review

A tour de force . . . One puts down this novel with a feeling of having feasted at a table of great ideas. Los Angeles Times
This is as enthralling a web as [Murdoch] has ever spun, and its sensuousness, its visionary physical detail, is a pleasure. San Francisco Chronicle
Her most emotionally gripping novel yet . . . built around Manichaean juxtapositions of good and evil, love and power, celebration and passion, light and dark. Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times"
