Reviews"Its pleasures are endless. . . . Supremely entertaining." The Washington Post Book World "Boyd has an exceptional ability to tell a really compelling story, in dense imaginative detail, about characters with complex, and convincing, emotional lives. . . . I've already read this book twice and probably shall again. Of how many novels can that be said?"--Peter Green, Los Angeles Times Book Review "The sort of rare novel that redeems the essential purpose of prose fiction. . . . A high celebration of the plain fun of a life lived with relentless appetite and reasonable grace."- The Baltimore Sun "Entertaining and moving. . . . Can be read with sheer pleasure not only for the delicacy of its emotions but for the truth of its perceptions. Like saying goodbye to a good friend, it's hard to see this brilliant novel come to an end." - The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "A wonderful character-and a wonderful book. . . . Boyd persuades you that you've read the confidences of a real, flawed, marginal character battered by every malice and caprice of 20th-century history. " - The Seattle Times "A pleasure front to back, and a fond tip of the bowler hat to the upper-class fiction spawned by a long-gone world."- Newsweek "One of the most skillful and appealing writers at work today."- The Atlantic Monthly "A novel of deep humanity and insight."- Newsday From the Trade Paperback edition., "Its pleasures are endless. . . .
