Review
"'An extremely attractive book, witty and fast-moving and densely imagined' Sunday Times 'Boldly conceived, highly original... It's grey, streaked with crimson, shot through with that dream gold.' Norman Shrapnel, Guardian 'It's Hope's insistence on doing things the unexpected way that have made him the celebrated writer he is.' Sunday Express 'Hope's invention never flags and his scathing intelligence forcefully points up the sheer, outrageous contradictions of the system.' Mary Hope, Spectator 'The dazzling control of image and metaphor makes it a brilliant literary disquisition on dreams and truth, as well as on South Africa.' Robert Winder, Books & Bookmen"
