Review
"A mastery of situation. Holds the reader confidently in its grip." (Times Literary Supplement)
"Mr. Stewart is a born astonisher ... A superb piece of story-telling." (New Statesman)
"Only once or twice since the end of World War II have I read a novel as good as Mr. J. I. M. Stewart's 'A Use of Riches'. This is a mature, rich yet delicate and most skilfully constructed novel in the grand manner and a stately tradition. It is intelligent, bold and sensitive. It is quietly and elegantly simple in narrative, yet brilliantly complex and subtle in texture. I am certain that I shall read it again and again and discover new depths of wisdom and beauty in it" (CBS News)
