"If it were possible to write a Great American Novel of this time in our lives, this is what it would look like... It's difficult to imagine a better American novel appearing this year" (Publishers Weekly). "Ford's taut, compelling prose is as piercingly clear as a police siren. No other storyteller writes about the alienated and uncommitted with such mastery" (Penny Perrick, Sunday Times).
