Masterly in its tension
Irish Times
A masterpiece. You read and are dazzled. It has one of the most memorable and convincing, most sinister and terrifying of characters created in the modern novel
Susan Hill Trevor is a master of both language and storytelling. this sinister, elegant, piercingly sad novel is surely one of the books of the year
Hilary Mantel
Sunday Express
Immaculately calculated. Trevor's cunning is to lull us with inertia so that we are as startled as his characters when the faint air of menace turns into a tempest
Sunday Tribune
Immensely readable. The plot twist is both sinister and affecting, and so skillfully done that you remember why authors had plot twists in the first place
