Critic Reviews

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
