What They're Saying
Critics Review
We are more immersed in war now than we have ever been; we experience it and are affected by it remotely even when our country isn’t actively participating. By focusing on how war affects the people who aren’t heroes, Thackeray has given us the greatest novel about Waterloo, and one that is just as relevant 200 years later.” * Telegraph online, Jonathan McAloon *
