Review:

"Most of the crucial action is reported, as in a classical tragedy. What remains are linguistic gestures, whose poetic strangeness is emphasized but through which the humanity of the characters is paradoxically thrown into relief....Everything is understated and decorous, and the emotional effect is overwhelming."

Peter Hainsworth, Times Literary Supplement, 07/12/1996
