Review
"Not just a book of the year but now one of my desert island books." -- Adrian Turpin * Herald Scotland * "Delicious and dead-on... All the embarrassments and gratifications of European travel are preserved in the amber of Maxwell's much pondered, seemingly casual prose." * New Yorker * "As the voices of Austen, Turgenev and Tolstoy have survived, so will Maxwell's. There aren't many truly great writers among us. William Maxwell is one of them" * The Times * "It's hard not to see it as a work of genius" * Times Literary Supplement * "His gentle urbanity is a joy" * Sunday Telegraph *
