Trade Review
This is his best book in years: sprawling, funny, touching, a near-perfect fusion of story and scholarship * Mail on Sunday *
Excellent... scrupulous and scholarly... It bounds along terrifically * Guardian *
Lodge's robust approach, his insights, energy and humour, enable him to present HG as a man not only for his own times but also for ours -- Patricia Craig * Irish Times *
Absorbing and thoroughly enjoyable -- Allan Massie * Scotsman *
David Lodge's novel goes straight to the heart of the story... It is pure fun -- Claire Harman * Evening Standard *
