Review:

'A fascinating portrait of his chosen trade' - Max Hastings, EVENING STANDARD 'full of sharp observation and fascinating detail...a riveting read' SUNDAY TELEGRAPH 'an intriguing, unusual and ambitious consideration of the political life' MAIL ON SUNDAY 'It is a rare book that demands a reread within a few months of its being put down... THE SHAPE OF ICE slips into that category.' FINANCIAL TIMES 'Hurd's dry wit is that of the Tory grandee, his reaction to events that of the intellectual who is master of his brief. The result means that you keep turning the pages...' INDEPENDENT 'Hurd writes with stylistic elegance.' DAILY TELEGRAPH
