A gripping page-turner filled with surprises, shocks and deep psychological insight... Intelligent, absorbing and most enjoyable * Independent on Sunday * Utterly gripping reading... You are in for a treat * Literary Review * DJ Taylor creates characters who have dynamic spirit and capture the imagination, while the story has the tension of a thriller, the sensitivity of a romance and the wit of an idiosyncratic adventure * Easy Living * Ambitious and immensely accomplished ... above all a meditation on selfhood and memory * Guardian * A highly accomplished novel. It is engrossingly plotted, and its depiction of the vibrant decade leading to the 1929 Crash offers an interesting parallel to our own times -- Simon Humphreys * Mail on Sunday *
