'A classic, a vision of unremitting intensity which combines some remarkable imaginative writing with what amounts to a love-song to the end of the world. Not a word is wasted, not an image is out of place.' - Times Literary Supplement
'Few contemporary novelists could match the intensity of her vision.' - J.G. Ballard
