Review

""Signals of Distress" is an engrossing book...Crace is a genius at making round and really human characters, and his characters make his novel superb."--"Newsday"
"One of the brightest lights in contemporary British fiction. With beguiling narrative ease and prose lyric enough to invest the most ordinary events with mystery, Mr. Crace...lays bare the commonplace events-always unrecorded-that crystallize later as 'history.'"-- Charles Johnson, "The New York Times Book Review"
"Crace weaves a progressive magic into this mythic plot with masterful detail, luminous prose and haunting characterization."--"The Boston Globe"
