"Stunningly powerful.... A standout. Mainstream readers should be enthralled as well."

"If le Carre scares you, try Jo Walton."
--Ursula K. LeGuin on "Farthing
""A subversive, trenchant and simultaneously dark and light piece of speculative fiction. Can I get an amen? ...The parallels between her Britain and today's climate are never didactic and always effective. It's also a book about husbands and wives, and about class and sex. It is quite an achievement, brothers and sisters. Hallelujah."
--Bookslut
"A stiff-upper-lip whodunit boasting political intrigue and uncomfortable truths about anti-Semitism."
--"Entertainment Weekly"
"Walton realizes an all-too-convincing alternate world in which the Third Reich but not its spirit was stopped at the English Channel. The characters are highly plausible, and in every aspect from the petty snobbery hampering the inspector to the we-don't-do-that-here conclusion, the plot encourages warily reconsidering the daily news."
--Booklist
"Amazing... One of the most compelling and chilling books of the year."
--RT Book Reviews
"A beautifully-written alternate history thriller by World Fantasy Award-winner Jo Walton, "Farthing "is a smart, convincing tale of a country's slide into fascism that's sure to entertain casual and genre readers alike."
