'An immensely gifted writer.' New York Times Book Review 'This is writing of great precision and economy, each incident, each small relvelation about the past, selected like a careful brushstroke.' -- Penelope Lively Spectator 'Subtle and strong... Chaudhuri's subject, in this tender and capricious book, is inexhaustible.' -- Adam Mars-Jones Observer
