Critics Review

Among his most stunning yet: profound and heartbreaking * Financial Times *A psychological thriller, a flawed love story, a study of authenticity in emotions, a commentary on America’s relations with itself and the world, humanity and ecology … undoubtedly magnificent * The Times *An exhilarating narrative feat … He is a formidable talent, and this is a lucid, fiercely entertaining novel – Sebastian Faulks * Washington Post *Powers’s most accessible novel … a novel of richness and complexity, never dry or condescending, always weaving its way towards an unsettling emotional climax * Guardian *An eloquent style, a strongly localised setting and a wealth of arcane and intricately researched detail … the novel is full of character, in cast and locale, and it impressively manages to be both meditative and compelling – Hugo Barnacle * Sunday Times *
