Critics Review
A mighty novel.
A mighty novel. * Observer *
Remarkable… May well come to be seen as the dystopian British novel of its times * Guardian *
Thrilling and enigmatic * New York Times Book Review *
Snarling, effervescent and ambitious… Jacobson’s triumph is to craft a novel that is poignant as well as troubling * Independent *
Jacobson…goes from strength to strength. – William Leith * Evening Standard *
Very little about Jacobson’s circuitous romance-cum-murder mystery is straightforward – other than its originality and its devastating brilliance. – Stephanie Cross * Daily Mail *
A dystopia that invites comparison with George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four and Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World * Sunday Times *
Mystifying, serious and blackly funny. – Max Liu * Independent on Sunday *
