Recensioner i media

"This book describes the panic of losing a child... The engulfing destructive pain is brilliantly explored" -- Alison Steadman Week "The Child in Time is an extraordinary achievement in which form and content, theory and practice, are so expertly and inseparably interwoven that the novel becomes an advertisement for, or proof of, its own thesis." -- Sheila Macleod Guardian
