From Library Journal
Busch's 1978 novel reveals the character of Charles Dickens through narrator George Dolby, who serves as the novelist's jack-of-all-trades. LJ's reviewer stated, "the complex narrative is handled brilliantly," and both Dickens and Dolby emerge as fully developed characters (LJ 5/15/78).
