Trade Review
There is no novelist writing today who catches the feeling of the moment more surely than Amos Oz * Scotsman *
Here is a writer unafraid of displaying the full spectrum of the emotions, and a writer - be it noted - who actually seems to have some faith left in the future * Guardian *
Shows to brilliant effect the tenacity of non-love and the power of separation * Observer *
A remarkably moving novel, conveying newly the tensions of human needs where politics invades sexual love * Times Literary Supplement *
