The Limits of Enchantment [Hardcover]

"Some wonderful social comedy as well as a sense of potential betrayal. He is a writer fascinated by his factual material, and by characters who would not be the same without it." (Roz Kaveney The Independent )

"Intricate, involving.. Joyce has produced a wonderful portrait of England. This remarkable novel should scoop Joyce out of the dusty corners of bookshops and introduce his work to a much wider readership." (Josh Lacey The Guardian )

"Joyce unfolds a beguiling story of witchraft with the kind of confidence and skill that comes from depth of experience. A very fine, very subtle novel." (SFX )

"Joyce is one of our great novelists, one of the treasures of our time" (Rick Kleffel Trashotron )

"Joyce's ear for dialect and his loving recreation of an almost forgotten world enable him to transcend genre. A sly comedy of manners with magical flavourings." (Lorne Jackson The Sunday Mercury )

"Mystery and possibly magic aside, this is a quiet tale of a journey into womanhood and of bucolic England during a period of change." (Simon Baker TLS )

"As solid, balanced, and finely tuned as anything Joyce has written, and that is tantamount to saying it's about as finely tuned as any recent fiction we have." (Gary K Wolfe LOCUS )

"Joyce weaves a vibrant, skilfull portrait of both worlds, peopled with credible and fascinating characters so convincing you'd believe he'd lived through it. The book is gripping, and the writing from this one-man genre astonisingly accomplished. It will live with you long after you grudgingly turn that final page. Graham Joyce is a magnificent writer. A national treasure." (Rob Grant Dreamwatch ) --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
