Critics Review
** ‘A novel that could easily replace THE CROW ROAD as his career highlight– MAXIM
As good as anything Banks has ever written, if not better * Sunday Telegraph *Chock-a-block with the author’s inimitable quirky magic * Financial Times *What Banks serves up is both unanticipated and terrifying. The fates of his characters are genuinely affecting * Evening Standard *Compellingly, beautifully crafted… A fascinating read * New Books Magazine *Banks still has the ability to make the reader smile with pleasure * Scotland on Sunday *A novel that could easily replace The Crow Road as his career highlight * Maxim *Banks begins his most consistent book since The Crow Road with slight-of-hand tricks displaying the master in rude form… These shifts in voice are so perfect, so clean and witty that when Alban comes to the fore, we feel he’s one of us * Waterstones Books Quarterly *
