Review

`A bravura performance, ribald, witty, wonderfully verbose and alive.' -- 'The Observer'

`A little masterpiece... funny, tender and highly memorable.' -- 'Daily Telegraph'

"A fanciful, sidelong view of a mysterious, mismatched marriage
that ends on a surprisingly tender note." -- 'The Times'

There is much sensual pleasure to be had from Nye's writing. His
Elizabethan London is vivid." -- 'Independent on Sunday'

`His book's sly echoes in the mind make it a lasting pleasure.'
-- 'Mail on Sunday'
