Review
"A quite extraordinary novel . . . the language is so fresh and crisp and sparkling. And what a narrative! What a story!" (PHILIP PULLMAN)
"Magnificent and beautifully written . . . such a truly Russian novel, with its huge horizons, it is an exceptional event in English literature" (ANTONY BEEVOR)
"Spellbinding. Though set in the past, this feels like the most contemporary fiction you'll ever read . . . A truly great read" (Irvine Welsh Guardian)
"Has the strangeness and clarity of a dream. This is historical fiction that transcends the genre - as intense as a thriller, imagined on an epic scale" (The Times)
"The best and most original book that I have read for years" (LOUIS DE BERNIÈRES)
"A strikingly unusual and ambitious novel . . . Violence and sensuality commingle in a tense, complex thriller with the sweep and flavour of Russia" (Sunday Telegraph)

"A powerfully realised novel . . . supremely well plotted" (Observer)
