Review
''Byatt is a gifted observer, able to discern the exact details that bring whole worlds into being.'' --New York Times Book Review
''Byatt is the most formidably equipped of contemporary novelists . . .The great merit of [her] writing . . . is that it continually engages the reader's mind.'' --Daily Telegraph (London)
