Review
"His most apocalyptic, explosive vision yet" * Scotsman * "A novel of paradoxes and impossibilities, conceived poetically and carrying readers along as though on a fast-flowing stream...I admire it hugely" * Literary Review * "A potent combination of political, metaphorical and mythical storytelling...pure celebration" * Scotsman * "A deliberate and important piece of writing" * Times Literary Supplement * "Okri's writing is hailed for its intelligent, tenderness, poeticism and luminosity" * Financial Times *
