Review
Will be recognized with the very best works of this century (New York Times Books Review)
Vintage Davies, employing a subtle feeling for family relationships and a genuine understanding of money and power while indulging in effortless intellectual acrobatics (Sunday Telegraph)
Davies' devotees will recognize at once the master's sharp ear for proverbial wisdoms, his relish for fantastical and dark linguistic corners, his magpie accumulations of odd bits of lore and historical tidbits (Observer)
An extraordinary tapestry of a book - richly layered, embroidered with detail and stitched together with skill and style (Time Out)
