About this title

Review:

Gripping...A complex exploration of the nature of the self, executed in polished and immediate prose (The Times)

It has vivid and compelling characters; it is scary, sinister and readable ... a very smart novel (Independent)

Brilliant...A dark, mesmerising debut (Independent on Sunday)

'Hustvedt has pulled off nothing less than a re-mapping of the modern feminist psyche...The quality and spareness of her prose, the intensity of her imagination, are at work on one of the most macabre terrains of the 20th century - New York' (Daily Telegraph )

A harsh, dark, dangerous piece of prose...Sharply readable, quirky and entertaining in its witty observation of student and city life, but the whole resonates with shocking force (Vogue)

A work of dizzying intensity ... an intriguing and sure-handed debut by a writer of eloquent and vivid disposition (Don DeLillo)

'Sexy without being steamy, intelligent without being complicated' (New Statesman )

Book Description:
