Its whole effect works slowly and mysteriously . . . a major, and rare, artistic achievement
A. S. Byatt
A tremendous, ranging story, economical and distilled as poetry
Jane Gardam
Quite simply a masterpiece . . . I am completely bowled over by it; by the power of its writing, by the vividness of its scene painting and by the stories it tells . . . This is a book which I go on rereading
A. N. Wilson, Daily Telegraph
A powerful piece of writing, rich with the essence of a poor but beautiful country and a simple yet dignified people
