Review:
Remarkable and beautifully written (INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY)
A brave and richly imagined novel, full of thrilling set pieces. The new prestige it seems likely to earn for one of our best writers is long overdue. (GUARDIAN)
Subtle and persuasive (COSMOPOLITAN)
An intense piece of writing, in which the transfigured mundane world of recipes, parental prohibitions and almost ritualised gossip is posed against official purity and religiosity, and shown to be superior. (TLS)
