Review:
... a clever exercise in historical recreation and, implicitly, a disturbing fable about scientific arrogance (SUNDAY TIMES)
Excellent. It's the first book I've read this year which ought to go straight on to the Booker shortlist for its intelligent writing, original plot and remarkable grasp of historical details and language (DAILY MAIL)
An impressively imaginative approach to history & a wry tale of a young man who is, to the last, sick with love (THE TIMES)
Atmospheric and action packed. (MAIL ON SUNDAY)
