Unsworth's darkly comic novel of greed, perfidy, and deceit occupies a landscape all too familiar with such things; Umbria is, after all, the place where Carthaginian invaders under Hannibal ambushed and slaughtered an entire Roman legion. Tactics have changed since the days of Hannibal, but the Umbria of After Hannibal is still a treacherous locale.
"Throughout After Hannibal you feel that here is a writer at the height of his powers, equally at ease with the big brush as with the small, taking considerable risks and pulling them off in a manner that's all the more impressive for being so unobtrusive."
--Sunday Telegraph
"A skillfully composed and beautifully written novel."
--Times Literary Supplement
"Few novelists now writing are anything like as reliably enjoyable as Barry Unsworth...There's very little the reviewer needs to say about his fiction, except: read it."
--The Spectator
