"Peter Carey, García Márquez, Alexander Solzhenitsyn: André Brink must be considered with that class of writer" (The Guardian)
"Strikingly effective" (The Times)
"A brutal, harrowing, desperately sincere piece of writing" (Sunday Times)
Book Description
'A brave and important novel, and in any terms a fine one - linguistically exciting, continually perceptive about society gone mad, [and] fiercely angry about cruelty' - Times Literary Supplement
