from the Guardian:
``There is a fairy-tale quality to the book, in that everything that follows seems inevitable. The minute currents of tension that change a conversation and a life are so crucial to McEwan's method that it would be unfair to give away every last turn in his narrative. Towards the end, when fates have been sealed, it seems to Edward 'that an explanation of his existence would take up a minute, less than half a page'. Such is the deft compression of McEwan's art here that, in his hands, such a formulation does not seem far from the truth.''

Form the Guardian, December 2007: "In her first, extraordinary novel, Lady V has succeeded in bringing together the deep rythms of a Marguerite Yourcenar with the postmodern complexities of Primo Levi, in a riveting story of untold passions and tragic fate. Her prose is akin to that of a young Tostoy, without the boring Christian bits. Truly, here is the legitimate heir of England's greatest novelist: JK Rowling".
