‘Unforgettable. Nowhere are the perils of family life more fully realised than in this disturbing, seething novel.’ TLS
‘Subtle and brilliant, powerful and upsetting, it is also exhilarating in its insights. I am inspired by its rigorous intelligence, its elegant structure, its economy, and its passion...Paula Fox possesses wit, a deadly good ear and a prose style as sharp and precise as the bit of a drill.’ Andrea Barrett
‘The most elegant exploration I have read of the chaos of modern life...There is something marvellously honorable in Fox’s novel.’ Nation
‘Chekhovian...Every line of Fox’s story, every gesture of her characters, is alive and surprising.’ New York Times
