Commentaires

Spooky...a wonderful novel
The Child in Time is an extraordinary achievement
It is marvellously written, moving, serious, readable... If you want to be appalled, refreshed, exhilarated, enlivened - read it
His masterpiece (Christopher Hitchens)
Artistically, morally, and politically, he excels
His best work to date
This book describes the panic of losing a child… The engulfing destructive pain is brilliantly explored (Alison Steadman)
The Child in Time is a dense, atmospheric book as much concerned with philosophical debate as with plot.
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)
