Review:
San Francisco Chronicle Richly imaginative...pure adventure.

The Washington Post Book World A superb novel, hypnotic, disturbing, and artful...so good that most readers will devour it in one gulp.

New York Newsday At her best the incantatory Marianne Wiggins goes beyond magical to sheer demonic possession.

The New York Times A powerful story that not only pulls you through to its final pages but also propels you back to the beginning again, where you find you want to follow her descent into hell a second time.

Los Angeles Times Book Review Marianne Wiggins' power is disjunctive, disruptive; she pounds the atoms of discourse until they split and go radioactive....Wiggins writes with a feverish brilliance...close to prophetic brilliance.

The Washington Post Book World Marianne Wiggins dares to make fictions that stand in the face of heart-cracking circumstance, fictions that, in fact, resound with hearts shattering.

Booklist Wiggins is one of those critically acclaimed authors whose books acquire passionate followings...who find passion to be a source of both salvation and gothic nightmare.

London Sunday Times Marianne Wiggins does not so much tell a story as make her reader live it.... She renews our sense of what prose fiction can be.

The New York Times Book Review In making us see her characters' humanity, she also compels us to acknowledge our shared yearning and sense of loss.
From the Back Cover:

“A superb novel, hypnotic, disturbing and artful ... The writing throughout is masterly ... almost any sentence may be shot through with wonderful phrases bright as tracer bullets.”
WASHINGTON POST

“A strange surrealistic tale of shipwreck told in prose at once as dense and flowing as the sea itself ... a chilling book, beautifully written ... The descriptions of life on the island are as vivid as anything in the 'genre', the terrors depicted every bit as effective as those in 'Lord of the Flies'.
SCOTLAND ON SUNDAY

“Marianne Wiggins’s novel, set in Burma in 1918, is not about the end of empire but about the end of hope, innocence, meaning and reason ... Wiggins does not so much tell a story as make her readers live it ... she renews our sense of what prose fiction can do.”
SUNDAY TIMES

“The events have at once a sharp reality and the elusiveness of dreams ... a glittering, violent and surreal tale ... Her fiction is a work of high ambition.”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

“A powerful story that not only pulls you through to its final pages but also propels you back to the beginning again, where you find you want to follow her descent into hell a second time.”
NEW YORK TIMES

Also available in Flamingo: 'Eveless Eden'
