‘A wonderful novel, flawless as a black pearl.’ Daily Mail

‘Outstanding…A tour de force that poses stark questions about modern-day Britain and what it is to be human.’ Sunday Times

‘“Ben, In the World” is huge in scope, humanity and pathos. Lessing created a monster; her triumph is that he not only personifies the human yearning to belong, but that we also come to love him.’ Shena Mackay, Daily Telegraph
