Review:
"The best novel this year, and doubtless for some to come... the whole is not only dizzyingly readable, but also has that feeling, rare and unforgettable in contemporary fiction, of everything being at stake - ethically, emotionally and imaginatively" (Independent)
"A comedy of manners crackling with ideas: about feminism, commitment, politics, Africa and the West. Rush brilliantly sustains the voice of his central character... and makes the post-colonial city and the new community itself familiar and concrete" (Observer)
"[A] striking success" (Guardian)
