Reviews
'beautifully written with an evocative narrative' Sunday Herald.
'It's a deft romance, an exercise in camp, and a fable about male pride and its pitfalls ... very readable' Guardian.
'A very fine novel ... intelligent, imaginative, accomplished, rich in sympathy and irony' Allan Massie, Scotsman.
'...the pages turn quickly, the plot thickens and rises, and when the book is finally put down, there is little to stop you looking forward to Nicoll's next one' Scottish Review of Books.
'It's a gripping and impressive piece of work, at times creating a sense of horror at the sheer convenience of political conformity' Times Literary Supplement.
