MEDIA REVIEWS
Almost steams with the author's understanding of South America and yet is somehow poetic and tender * Observer *
Will count among the best work being produced by the present generation of British writers * Independent on Sunday *
As cracking a story as any yarn, as informed as any journalism, and delivered with firmness and urgency * The Times *
In addition to being a satisfyingly rich tale or romance this is a highly intelligent examination of Peruvian - and South American - reality... Funny and devastating... I was riveted by this superb novel * New Statesman *
