A masterpiece
Sunday Telegraph
As rich and exciting as Umberto Eco's <i>The Name of the Rose</i>, but deeper and more disturbing... It begins as a murder mystery but ends in a revelation of deeper mysteries of death and rebirth
New York Times
Highly imaginative
Guardian
A short, charged and imaginative fable-cum-murder-mystery which uses [Fuller's] gift for narrative and for elaborate metaphor to great effect
Sunday Times
