    Review quote
    'Esterhazy's writing is agile and compelling ... The polyform narration is fascinating in its ambition, its effect rather like a literary one-man band.' TLS 'An unusual and remarkable book ... Enthralling and enjoyable.' Adam Zamoyski, Spectator 'This novel is an agility class. But it doesn't seem to matter if the reader is not very agile. All one needs to enjoy it is enough time and a certain willingness to step along with a very dancing sort of writer.' Independent
