Critics Review
A phenomenon, a prodigy, a marvel … It is hard to believe that Seth is only one man - Evening Standard
A SUITABLE BOY may prove to be the most fecund as well as the most prodigious work of the latter half of this century - perhaps even the book to restore the serious reading public’s faith in the contemporary novel … You should make time for it. It will keep you company for the rest of your life - The TimesThe language has a remarkably direct, almost naive fullness of rhythm and rhyme … extraordinary - Guardian on THE RIVERED EARTHSuch writing reminds us that there are secrets beyond technique, beyond style, which have to do with a quality of soul on the part of the writer, a giving of oneself - Guardian on A SUITABLE BOYAbout The Author
