Review:
Pure pleasure. Source: Sunday Times
Brilliantly funny, perceptive, and, at the death, chilling. Source: Sunday Telegraph
Dazzling . . . the tonal tightrope is superbly negotiated by Frayn in a novel which is just about as perfect a construct as we are likely to read this or any year. Source: Financial Times
Ah, now this is writing . . . Written in prose like spring rain, with a rare sweetness that steers away from the cruelties of Waugh or the slapstick of Wodehouse. Source: Washington Post
Brilliant. Author: John Updike
