Unquestionably the best historical novel of its kind since Anthony Adverse * Los Angeles Times *
I can't remember when a novel has seized my mind like this one. It's irresistable, maybe unforgettable. Clavell ... creates a world so enveloping you forget who and where you are * New York Times *
Mr Clavell tells his story brilliantly * The Times *
