Trade Review
"Mars-Jones’ trim, poignant novel humanizes the intricacies of a dominant-submissive gay relationship.... As the narrator says, “What I saw of his life was about excitement, about magic,” a spell that will fall on readers, too." -- Kirkus (starred)
"Mars-Jones’s prose is exceptionally nimble, dry, humorously restrained, very English, with a little Nabokovian velvet too. He can describe more or less anything and make it interesting." -- James Wood - London Review of Books
"Mars-Jones is a writer of wonderful originality and wit." -- The Times (London)
"Dry, accurate, tragic." -- Edmund White
"I very much enjoyed Box Hill. It is a characteristic Mars-Jones mixture of the shocking, the endearing, the funny, and the sad, with an unforgettable narrator. The sociological detail is as ever acutely enduring." -- Margaret Drabble
