Review:
An impressive, haunting book...Like the better Hitchcock films, Beryl Bainbridge suggests a claustrophobic horror (Sunday Times)
A chilly story written by a master hand (The Times)
A little triumph of economy, with pent thoughts and cramped emotions that whisper frantically on when the book is shut (Guardian)
A magnificent book (New York Review of Books)
