Media Reviews

The book moves along at a funny, extremely enjoyable speed in step with Georgy's restless energy, sometimes verging on the farcical, and always contained just this side of pathos * The Times *
Forster is remarkably honest, skilful and perceptive * Observer *
Forster has that rare ability to step into another's shoes * Company *
