About this title

Review:

Powerful and true, leavened by a sharp wit that rarely deserts him. Source: The Times

For a writer with a fine track record in comedy, Kureishi is a master of the elegiac. He can convey, with enviable simplicity, the pain of lovers mourning past glories. Source: Sunday Telegraph

He wields a singularly pure and classical style, at times a dissecting instrument more reminiscent of the French tradition than the English. It is one of the paradoxes that make his art so successful. Source: Independent on Sunday

Each book is better than the last, and this is no exception. Source: Daily Telegraph
