'These are deep waters, Watson! Markovits is a subtle, delicate writer who is at his best in dealing with ambiguities and ambivalences of human relationships... [this is a] fine novel...[Markovits's] patient desire for an old colleague's version of Byron to come to light is itself infused with a generosity of soul.' --A. N. Wilson, Financial Times
'Markovits has a knack of keeping the characters voices distinct and clear, while still creating a commentary on where a work of fiction comes from . . . Childish Loves is a peculiar book, and a highly original one. Those who are unafraid to tackle something new will find much that is rewarding.' --Sunday Business Post
'Brilliantly brings together questions of legacy, the 'writing life', heroism, betrayal and disillusionment, in clear, intelligent prose. It is a perfect finish to the trilogy.' --Independent on Sunday Books of the Year

'His double structure allows him to explain where the stretches of historical fiction have departed from fact... [Markovits] is an exceptional ventriloquist, effortlessly distinguishing the voices of Byron at three different ages and an array of modern teachers, publishers and grieving relatives, each of them establishing their personality in a few phrases . . . perfect period detail . . . a very, very odd book although I mean this as a high compliment in a time when so many authors are content to write again a novel that either they or others have previously written.' --Mark Lawson, Guardian
