Recensione:
"A dark, compelling debut ... Heath skilfully recreates the trajectory of Gibson's life, but it's Trelling's equally damaged character ... which provides the vital emotional charge" (Daily Mail)
"Heath combines imaginative, fast paced story telling with an unerring sense of period, place and mood... an exceptionally well-written, suspenseful novel." (Guardian)
"Excellent on the atmosphere of post-war Britain and the lure of South Africa... compellingly told, reminiscent of early Doris Lessing ... the twists keep the reader glued to the novel." (Independent)
"...thrillingly macabre." (Daily Telegraph)
"Excellent ... There is a compulsion and persuasive assurance in the writing" (Sunday Times)
