From the first perfect sentence this novel is a gem. Its pared sentences and vocabulary really capture the time * Evening Standard * The Moggacch miracle continues- here's another vivid, gripping yarn from the author of Tulip Fever... with a plot as twisty as a mountain road * The Times * This wartime novel of ordinary Londoners is atmospheric and buzzing with electricity... a spirited portrait of lives thrown into turmoil by the Great War * Daily Express * Like the recent novels by Ian McEwan and Sarah Waters, In the Dark successfully modernises the past. By focusing on life's murkier undercurrents... the characters come to seem appealingly familiar -- Sophia Harrison * Sunday Times * A thoughtful diligent writer * Sunday Telegraph * Deborah Moggach's affection for her compex, damaged characters shines through the dark setting in this tender, funny and unsettling book * The Gloss * The details of life in an Edwardian household are researched to perfection * Scotland on Sunday * The great joy of this tender little novel is Deborah Moggach's sensory imagination * Guardian * The characterisation is superb, Moggach has brilliantly resurrected a world of genteel penury and intense, furtive sex, and the book exudes quiet excellence * Mail on Sunday *
