“He is a major writer” (The Independent on Sunday)

Superb...Perhaps this book will finally bring him the mainstream recognition he deserves. (Arena)

‘Richly satisfying. Duncan manages to fuse racial and personal dislocation beautifully in this long, seductive narrative....A terrific yarn.’ (The Independent on Sunday)

[A] sprawling, ambitious work...it loops back and forth through history with remarkable lucidity... ultimately very moving.’ (Alfred Hickling, The Guardian)

“A vigorous roman à ghee, reminiscent at turns of Vikram Seth, Zadie Smith and Douglas Coupland.” (Kirkus Reviews)
