Probst's dystopian vision operates on a personal and, therefore, universal level ... A strangely compelling narrative." The Sunday Times"Stark, and compelling storytelling ... A very strong atmosphere of anomie but with a dash of hope." John Hegley"Very wonderfully written ... Held and intrigued me. The characters pulled me into their lives." Tony Peake"The style, which veers between the ordinary and the surreal, in one of the most enjoyable aspects of this novel."
