"Perfect example of Morrison's command of narritive, beautifully written and an incredibly profound account of the effects of slavery both for the individual and the whole black community."
"I'd read this one after a more accessible story of Morrison's such as 'Beloved' just to get used to her style of writing. This is certainly a challenging narritive, but a total MASTERPIECE!!!"
"Just a fantastic read! This short story really raises a lot of questions about human nature and the need for genuine companionship. One of the most moving stories I have ever read."
"CLASSIC! Read it, you will love it, sexy, bold and with a constant underlying sense of malevoulence what more could you want? Wilde is an outstanding novelist. Enough said."
"This is unahamedly protest literature so don't expect balanced accounts. Yet its well written and most importantly a fantastic insight into political corruption in early twentieth century America."
"Brilliently written with genuine feeling and a somewhat sentimental view of a rural Scotland on the cusp of industrialisation. A product of the Scottish Literary Renaissance this novel is a triumph."
"This is a REMARKABLE insight into the psychological effects of colonialism/postcolonialism with particular regard to gender relations, religion and education in Zimbabwe."
"THE WORLD IN A BOOK! Open it to find a glistening treasure of words that seem to just fall off the page and straight into your imagination. India's very own messed up polyglot epic myth."
