Review:

"'I think it is now becoming clear that A Dance to the Music of Time is going to become the greatest modern novel since Ulysses'" (Clive James)

"'I would rather read Mr Powell than any English novelist now writing'" (Kingsley Amis)

"'Unquestionably the finest English comic novel of the period'" (Sunday Times)

"'Intensely enjoyable - his dry, ironic descriptions are very funny indeed. A witty and shapely account of conventional English education'" (Observer)

"'I find Powell the sort of writer who exerts such a strong pull that turning anyone else's books, after his, calls for an effort of will - One of the most individual tones of voice in contemporary novel-writing and one of the most artful'" (Norman Shrapnel Guardian)

From the Publisher:
