Trade Review

Perhaps the first great novel of the 20th century * New York Times *
A simple but magnificent proof of genius. A first novel by a 25-year-old with absolute command of his craft, uncanny knowledge of his world, its past and present, and a daring originality which makes its last pages among the most startlingly moving I know -- Alan Hollinghurst * New York Times *
One of the best novels of the 20th century * Guardian *
That definitive epic of German family life * Irish Times *
His masterpiece * Los Angeles Times *
